Nichole Nordeman - I Am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pencil marks on a wall
I wasn't always this tall
You scattered some monsters from beneath my bed
You watched my team win
You watched my team lose
You watched when my bicycle went down again
CHORUS:
And when I was weak unable to speak
Still I could call You by name
and I said "Elbow healer, Superhero,
come if You can," and You said "I am."
Only 16, life is so mean, what kind of curfew is at 10pm
You saw my mistakes, You watched my heart break
Heard when I swore I’d never love again
CHORUS:
When I was weak, unable to speak
still I could call You by name
and I said "Heart-ache Healer, Secret-keeper,
be my Best Friend" and You said "I am."
We saw her wear white, by pale candlelight
I said forever to what lies ahead
Two kids and a dream, with kids that can scream
Too much it might seem when it’s 2am
CHORUS:
When I am weak, unable to speak,
still I will call You by name.
"Oh Shepherd, Savior, Pasture-maker,
hold on to my hand," and You say "I am."
BRIDGE:
The winds of change
And circumstance blow in and all around us
So we find a foothold that’s familiar
And bless the moments that we feel You nearer
Life had begun, I was woven and spun
You let the angels dance around the throne
Who can say when, but they’ll dance again
When I am free and finally headed home
CHORUS:
I will be weak, unable to speak,
Still I will call You by name
"Creator, Maker, Life-sustainer,
Comforter, Healer, My Redeemer,
Lord and King, Beginning and the End
I am, yes, I am."

My God makes me cry.
