Mighty God that’s who you are
Ever the same, you will live forever
You alone deserve my worship
So, I worship
I am here to bow down
I am here to say that you’re my God
You are lovely, altogether worthy
I worship
I am here to bow down
I am here to say that you’re my God
You are lovely, altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
Ijuru elu igwe ju uwa eh (You fill heaven and earth)
Ugwu anari atu egwu (The dangerous mountain that the climbers dread)
Okaka n’eme mma eh (The greatest One that’s doing good)
Chi ma obi m oh (The God that knows my heart)
Chi nwendu m oh (The God that owns my life)
You are more than what singers sing
You are more than what the preachers preach
You are higher than I can reach
You are mightier than I
I worship
I am here to bow down
I am here to say that you’re my God
You’re so beautiful, altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
I worship
I am here to bow down
I am here to say that you’re my God
You are lovely, altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
I have search through all the earth
But I found no one else like you
Ake ko fana naye (There is no one else like you)
Nna n itozulu etozu (You are perfect)
Oti mgbodomgbo (The noise of the great worrior)
Oloro ihe loro ihe loro enyi (The One that swallowed, what swallowed, what swallowed the elephant)
Oma mma di mma eh (The beautiful One that is embodies beautiful)
Onye m so adighi mfe (The one I’m with isn’t simple all )
Igbe oma n’eche ndu me eh (The flight case that protects my life)
Okwuru onye na-amaghi ekwu (The voice of the voiceless)
Ojere onye na-amaghi eje nu oh (The legs of the cripple)
Okwa gi na-eburu m agha zoro ezo (Are you not One fighting my hidden battles)
Onye oma n’isolu uso chioma eh (Good God you are so sweet)
I worship
I am here to bow down
I am here to say that you’re my God
You’re lovely, altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
You are worthy
You are lovely
You are wonderful
You are beautiful
You’re lovely, altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
The lyrics to Dr. Joseph Michael Levry's song "I Am" speak of the greatness of God and the singer's devotion to Him. The first few lines establish God's identity as a "wonderful counselor," "Mighty God," and eternal being. The following lines express the singer's worship and reverence, emphasizing the worthiness of God and His inimitability. The subsequent lines identify God as both intimately aware of and in control of the singer's heart and life, and the latter half of the song lists various aspects of God's power and goodness. Overall, the singer seeks to affirm God's superiority and express their personal commitment to Him.
In addition to the spiritual themes present in the lyrics, "I Am" also includes references to the Igbo language, which is spoken in Nigeria. The lines "Ijuru elu igwe ju uwa eh" and "Ugwu anari atu egwu" both come from Igbo proverbs, the former roughly translating to "you fill heaven and earth," and the latter referring to a dangerous mountain that climbers avoid. This inclusion of African language and cultural elements adds depth and richness to the song and demonstrates the artist's global perspective.
