I AM

There you are the great I AM

Time doesn’t define you

Life doesn’t define you

You made them all

Yet you see me in my despair

And you reach down

Like a vine, like ivy rapping around a branch

You pull me out

Out of the muck

Out of the sinking sand

Now I see you

Both in great power and liquid love

You lean in meekness and kiss my head

Burning away layers

As a crown of life is displayed

You lift my chin gently

And speak meekly

“See”

My lenses of black and gray

Shriveled away

Replacing them were eyes of gold

I could see

Colors, beauty, joy, and song

It was Him and He was strong

Yet soft and gentle, covered in love

I looked down and saw

With eyes of pure gold

Colors, beauty, joy and song

It was me, I was strong

Yet soft and gentle covered in love

Like Him I am

A child of the King

A child of love

A child of holiness

Pure

A child of beauty

Like Him I am
