I Am (Key-Eb-Premiere Performance Plus) - Nichole Nordeman

Pencil marks on a wall

I wasn’t always this tall

You scattered some monsters

From beneath my bed

You watched my team win

You watched my team lose

Watched when my bicycle

Went down again

And when I was weak

Unable to speak

Still I could call You by name

And I said

Elbow Healer, Superhero

Come if You can

You said, I Am

Only sixteen

Life is so mean

What kind of curfew

Is at 10pm?

You saw my mistakes

And watched my heart break

Heard when I swore

I’d never love again

And when I was weak

Unable to speak

Still I could call You by name

And I said

Heartache Healer, Secret Keeper

Be my best friend

And You said, I Am

You saw me wear white

By pale candlelight

I said forever

To what lies ahead

Two kids and a dream

With kids that can scream

Too much it might seem

When it is 2am

And when I am weak

Unable to speak

Still I will call You by name

Oh, Shepherd, Savior, Pasture Maker

Hold onto my hand

You say, I Am

The winds of change and circumstance

Blow in and all around us

So we find a foothold that’s familiar

And bless the moments

That we feel You nearer

When life had begun

I was woven and spun

You let the angels

Dance around the throne

And who can say when

But they’ll dance again

When I am free

And finally headed home

I will be weak

Unable to speak

Still I will call You by name

Creator, Maker, Life Sustainer

Comforter, Healer, my Redeemer

Lord and King, Beginning and the End

I Am

Yes, I Am
