I AM
David T. Clydesdale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the birds in the trees
The sunshine and vegetation
I am rich
From the rivers to the reef
The mountains, the waterfalls
I am rich
In a jungle by the sea
I am rich
So let's celebrate and sing
With good friends for everlasting
I am rich
The coral reef washes away
My pain and sorrow
I am rich
For I have no fear of tomorrow
I am rich
Animals comfort me
Like soothing tropical breezes
I am rich
Because you love me guarantees it
I am rich
From what is free alleluia
I am rich
With more diversity
I am Creole and
I am Garifuna
I am rich
I will stand with you
Until the end
I am rich
I am Mayan
I am Mestizo
I am East Indian
I am rich
I am Belizean
I am rich
I am Belizean
Grant peace to the world
Heal our misunderstandings
With loving kindness and mercy
Only grace from above
Will help us
Gently move these mountains
We are all rich
I believe
I am rich
For the birds in the trees
The sunshine and vegetation
I am rich
From the rivers to the reef
The mountains, the waterfalls
I am rich
In a jungle by the sea
With a cool house made from green forests
I am rich
So let's celebrate and sing
With good friends for everlasting
I am rich
I am Belizean
I am rich
I am Belizean
Grant peace to the world
Heal our misunderstandings
With loving kindness and mercy
Only grace from above
Will help us
Gently move these mountains
We are all rich
I believe
Grant peace to world
Heal our misunderstandings
With loving kindness and mercy
Only grace from above
Will help us
Gently move these mountains
We are all rich
I believe
The lyrics of David T. Clydesdale's "I Am" speak of the power of God's love, and the strength that it gives us to endure even the toughest of times. The verses state that there is nowhere that God's love cannot reach, and that in turn there is no place where we cannot find peace. The chorus then reinforces this by telling us that we must hold on to God in the midst of life's storms, and that He will never let us go.
The lines "take me in with your arms spread wide, take me in like an orphan child, never let go, never leave my side" speak to the idea that God's love is all-encompassing, and that no matter what our past may be or what struggles we may face, we are always welcomed and loved by Him. The song then builds towards a powerful crescendo where the singer declares that their faith in God is their "resurrection song" and their reason to praise Him.
Overall, the lyrics of "I Am" serve as a reminder of the immense and enduring power of God's love, and a call to continually hold on to that love in every aspect of our lives.
