I Am
Ginny Owens Lyrics

No Lord, he said, you've got the wrong guy.
The singer feels inadequate and believes that God has made a mistake by choosing them.

Simple conversation gets me tongue-tied.
The singer struggles with communicating effectively even in everyday situations.

And you're telling me to speak with a maniac king.
The task that God is asking the singer to do seems incredibly difficult and dangerous.

Could it be I've lost my mind?
The artist wonders if they are losing their sanity by considering this task.

And besides, I am weak, don't you want someone strong, To lead them out of Egypt when they've been there so long?
The artist doubts their ability to accomplish the task and thinks that someone stronger should do it.

And anyway, they won't believe You ever spoke to me.
The singer is afraid of being rejected by the people they are being sent to.

That's not your problem, God replied.
God is telling the singer that whether or not others believe them is not their concern.

And the rest is history.
The outcome of the situation is well known and recorded in history books.

There's a bigger picture you can't see.
God sees the situation from a perspective that the artist does not have access to.

You don't have to change the world, just trust in me.
God is asking the artist to have faith and trust in His plan, without needing to feel like they need to solve everything themselves.

'Cause I am your creator, I am working out my plan, And through you I will show them, I Am.
God is reminding the singer that He created them for a purpose, and that He has a plan that involves them demonstrating God's power to those around them.

Now Lord, are you sure? He's just a shepherd boy, Too small for battle gear with a giant to destroy.
The artist is skeptical that God would choose someone so insignificant to accomplish a task that seems impossible.

What on earth can he do with five stones and a sling?
The singer is questioning the effectiveness of the tools being used in the situation.

'Cause I can do anything.
God is asserting His unlimited power and ability to make things happen, regardless of the apparent limitations of the situation.

I Am the first, I Am the last, I Am the present and the past, I Am tomorrow and today, I Am the only way.
God is declaring His complete, eternal, and sole authority over all of existence.

Great Lord, she said, I'm just a simple girl. You say that I will bring your son into the world.
The artist is humbled by the task that God is entrusting them with and recognizes their own limitations.

How can I understand this thing You're gonna do?
The artist is questioning how they can possibly comprehend the magnitude of what is being asked of them.

And through you, I will show them, There's a bigger picture, you can't see.
God is going to use the singer to demonstrate His power and reveal to others a more complete and profound perspective of the situation.

I'm your creator, I am working out my plan.
God is the one in control and has a specific plan that He is executing.

And through you, I will show them, I Am.
God will make Himself known and demonstrate His power through the actions of those who are obedient to Him.
