I AM
Finding Favour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While the whole world was dreaming
I never left your side
And I can promise I won't be leaving
I watch you breathing
And I hear you singing
I feel your heart beat and I know every pain
And I am the comfort when you are afraid
I am the refuge when you call my name
I was, I'll be, I am
I know you're broken
You're busted wide open
You've fallen to pieces and you feel there's nothing left
You can hope in
But I'll hold you together
We'll stand the weather
Cause I paid the price for you
And I won't let you go, no never
And I am the comfort when you are afraid
I am the refuge when you call my name
I was, I'll be, I am
And I am the future, and I am the past
I am the first and I am the last
I was, I'll be, I am
I am the Father, I am the Son
I am the Spirit, I am the One
I was, I'll be, I am
And I wore the thorns and I took the nails
I am love, and love never fails
I was, I'll be, I am
I am, I am, I am
The lyrics of "I Am" by Finding Favour are about the omnipresence of God and the depths of His unfailing love. The song describes how God watches over us even in our sleep and never leaves our side. He knows our every pain and fear, and He is our comfort and refuge. The chorus repeats the affirmation that God was, He'll be, and He is, emphasizing the constancy of His presence.
The second verse speaks to the brokenness and despair that we might feel in life. However, the song reassures that God will hold us together, and we can put our hope and trust in Him. The bridge of the song declares that God is everything - He is the past and future, the first and last, and the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The lyrics conclude with the reminder that God sacrificed Himself out of love for us, and His love never fails.
Overall, "I Am" is a declaration of faith in God's unchanging, unwavering love, and His presence in every aspect of our lives.

While you were sleeping
While you were unaware or unconscious
While the whole world was dreaming
While everyone was lost in their own dreams
I never left your side
I was always present by your side
And I can promise I won't be leaving
And I assure you that I will never leave
I watch you breathing
I observe your breathing
And I hear you singing
And I listen to you singing
I feel your heart beat and I know every pain
I sense your heartbeat and I understand all your pains
That you're feeling
That you are experiencing
And I am the comfort when you are afraid
And I am the source of comfort when you are fearful
I am the refuge when you call my name
I am the sanctuary when you call out my name
I was, I'll be, I am
I existed in the past, I will exist in the future, and I exist in the present
I know you're broken
I understand that you are shattered
You're busted wide open
You are completely broken
You've fallen to pieces and you feel there's nothing left
You have disintegrated and it seems like there is no hope left
You can hope in
You can have faith in me
But I'll hold you together
But I will keep you composed and together
We'll stand the weather
We will endure the storms
Cause I paid the price for you
Because I paid the cost for you
And I won't let you go, no never
And I will not allow you to depart, never
And I am the future, and I am the past
And I am the upcoming, and I am the previous
I am the first and I am the last
I am the beginning, and I am the end
I am the Father, I am the Son
I am the Father, and I am the Son
I am the Spirit, I am the One
I am the Holy Spirit, and I am the One
I wore the thorns and I took the nails
I wore the crown of thorns, and I endured the nails
I am love, and love never fails
I am love, and love never falters
I am, I am, I am
I exist, I exist, and I exist
