I AM who I AM

I AM who I AM
The name of God, I AM
The Word God speaks, I AM
In the beginning,
before time began, I AM
Do not be afraid, I AM

I AM alpha and omega
I AM beginning and end
I AM artist of the galaxies
I AM light of the cosmos
I AM ground of being
I AM in eternity

I AM human and divine
I AM the to and fro
of faith and love
between Father and Son
I AM marriage of flesh and Spirit
I AM union of earth and heaven

I AM sent by the Father
I AM dialogue
I AM conversation
I AM communication
I AM the door
and the door is open

I AM shepherd,
laying down my life for the sheep
I AM servant,
washing the feet of my disciples
I AM vine,
into which you are grafted

I AM the ladder
between earth and heaven
on which you ascend
I AM the way on which you travel
I AM the truth which is being revealed
I AM the life you are raised to live

I AM living water, living bread
I AM water into wine, slaking thirst
I AM broken bread, satisfying hunger
When I AM lifted up, raised up,
you will know I AM who I AM
I AM the resurrection

I AM has sent me to you
Follow the way I AM
Believe the truth I AM
Live the life I AM
I AM in you and you in I AM
Be together what I AM
I AM who I AM
I AM you, you are I AM
