Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am the Lord, I'm the Almighty God
And I am the one for which nothing is too hard
I am the Shepherd, and I am your door
I am the good news to the bound and the poor
See, I am, I am, I am, I am

I am the righteous one, I am the lamb
I am the ram, the bush for Abraham
I am the ultimate and sacrifice for sin
I am your redeemer, beginning and the end
I am, I am, I am, I am

I am Jehovah, I am the king
I am the Messiah, I am David's offspring
I am your high priest, I am the Christ
I am the resurrection, I am the life
I am, I am, I am, I am

I am the bread, I am the wine
I am your future, so leave your past behind
I am the one in the midst of two or three
I am your tabernacle, I am your Jubilee
I am, I am, I am, I am

I am the bread, I am the wine
I am your future, so leave your past behind
I am the one in the midst of two or three
I am your tabernacle, I am your Jubilee
I am, I am, I am, I am

I am (I am) I am (I am)
I am Jehovah Jireh (I am)
Your provider (I am)
I am Jehovah Nissi (I am)
I'll fight your battle (I am)

Just trust in me (I am)

I'll pick you up (I am)
I'll turn you around (I am)
I'll put your feet (I am)
On solid ground (I am)

Just call my name (I am)
Just call my name (I am)
Yeah (I am, I am)

Yes (yes) I am (I am)
Yes (yes) yes (I am)
I am (I am) your way-maker (I am)
I am (I am) your strong tower (I am)
Just call on my name (I am)




Call on my name (I am)
