Song Lyrics


I Am
by David Bowden

Album: I Used to Be in Love


Before florescent formations fomented
The foundations of your firmament
That is
Before the stars in your sky ever entered existence
Before light knew what bright meant
Before sky had a clue where up went Before either
were ever invented
I Am
Before terrestrial perennials terraced
Your planet's territorial terrain
That is
Before the plants on your ground were ever ordained
Before roots were ever arranged
Before fruit had a taste Before either had a name
I Am
Before the ocean had a bowl Before the surf
discovered its roll Before the grave was made Sheol
Before man had a soul
I Am
Before Eden was installed
Before the garden's serpent crawledBefore the tree, before the fall
I Am
For
I am truth before there ever could be false
I am perfection before there ever could be faults I am
by all
In all
Through all
All in all
And I am to be called
I Am
Before the curse usurped the ground and Drove you
away from the divine
Before you felt the separation between
Who you are and the intention of your design Before
you tried to abide in sources of
Death in order to find life
Before you combined yourself with any form of
Pleasure you could find
Before you felt so alone
Before you felt so dry
Before you tried to run away from My side
I Am
I am the vine
Before the cherubim ever guarded the garden Before
the flaming sword was ever sharpened Before the
chasm between God and man Was ever widened
Before you lost all hope in becoming a
Citizen of heaven
Before all you earned was endless flame
Before all you deserved was righteous pain
Before you were a sheep hoping not just to be some
Lion's prey Before you were a lost lamb longing for a
pen
Longing to escape your fate
I Am
I am the gate
Before sustenance turned to gluttony and Food was
made an enemy
Before attraction was based in anatomy and Sex was
removed from matrimony
Before money became morality and
Greed grew into the only causality
Before you were empty without Me
Before you tried to satisfy your appetite with anything
Before you strived to
Feel aliveBy filling your strife
With the fleeting vices of
Your fleshly devices
Before your hunger for relief left pangs in your side
I Am
I am the bread of life
Before you ever became acquainted with pain and
death Before you ever tasted loneliness
Before disease destroyed what you possess

Before eyes could be blind and ears could go deaf
Before you lost the ones you love to the
Grave's unyielding cleft
I Am
For before mankind stopped living So that they might
just survive
I am the resurrection and the life
Before that sadness that grips your mind Led you to
darkness and thoughts of suicide Before that distortion
of man hurt you
So that you now hurt yourself
Before you knew razors and wrists
Could create a new hell
Before wounds turned to scars
And scars became a way of life
I Am
I am the light
Before you even knew how to sin I am where your
salvation begins
Before you withdrew from the path of My way Before
you wilfully and joyously disobeyed Before you
betrayed
The gift that I gave
Of that breath in your lungs
That life in your airways
By saying no to My love and yes to your heresy
Before you
Engaged with the enemy
Waged in sin with intensity
Before you
De-reigned My supremacy
Enflamed My jealousy
Before you chose
Greed over My adequacy
Lies over My accuracy
Pride over My advocacy
Before you chose your sinful self over Me I Am
I am the Good Shepherd
Who lays down His life for His sheep
For before you were a spotted lamb I Am
I am the way
Before you could ever run away from My call
I am the truth
Before you could ever walk away from My law
I am the life
Before you could ever turn away from My cross at
Golgotha's skull
So I beg you now To withdraw
Withdraw from your sin
For I am your only temptation
Withdraw from your self
For I am making you a new creation

Withdraw from your pride
For I am ruining your reputation
Withdraw from self-righteousness For I am your only
mediationWithdraw from your hopes and dreams For I
am your only expectation
Withdraw from your life For I am your crucifixion
Before all time
I am all sufficient
Before all titles and designations
To My name all the cosmos listened
For
I am Jesus
I am the Word
I am Elohim
I am the Lord
I am the Christ
I am Messiah
I am Creator
I am Jehovah Jireh
I am the Lamb of God
I am Immanuel
I am the Begotten Son
I am Holy One of Israel
I am the Firstfruits
I am the Prince of Peace I am the Bridegroom
I am the King of kings
I am the God of Abraham I am the God of Jacob
I am the Alpha
I am the Omega
I am the Holy One worthy of praise So withdraw unto
My side Withdraw and be made MineWithdraw and with
Me stay Withdraw into My way
