about

I Am is a representation of my faith and a testimony of my relationship with Jesus and his sacrifice. I Am is denoted as one of the names of God mentioned in the Bible when he speaks to Moses at the burning bush. The primary message of the song is to exhibit that Christ is within us all and is exhibited by the voice of the singer going between 1, myself as a child of God discovering the truth and accepting the freedom gifted by Jesus’ sacrifice, and 2, as the voice of God and Jesus speaking their story.

My first experience with the song came while recording an acoustic version of a previous song Deliverance which was about my deliverance to faith. I’ve never had an experience of a melody or words coming to me so subconsciously, it was almost like an outer body experience and it just flowed without thought or plan, and so was the start of something special. It is the also the first song that is set apart from my usual style of writing with loops.

Biblical Reference: Exodus 3:14, God reveals his personal name to Moses as אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה (Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh) which translates directly to “I Am”.

lyrics

I am believe in me
I know the truth ain’t free
Cause I’ve been left alone to feel the sun again
I am yours and You are strong

So if we darken the walls
And if I knew just where to follow
And if I see a light is coming after me
I will choose to see
I choose to believe yeah

I Am the Son of man
The only Lion and Lamb
And if I choose to hang before my Fathers eyes
I’ll be blown away before this summers night

Because the danger of a sacrifice
The Holy Ghost succeeds the night
The people blow their own heads wide open
Someone told me I would lie beneath the pale moon light
But I’ll be holding on to what You did

I know You are my love
The great one definer of
Things I left against the sun that You could see
I’ll be blown away Your heart is in with me

Cause He left me on my own
He needed to go home
He’ll never leave me all alone
So I will be strong
I will be strong

I Am believe in me
I know the truth is free
Cause I’ve been left against the Son
I will be strong

Because the danger of a sacrifice
The Holy Ghost succeeds the night
The people blow their own heads wide open
Yeah someone told me I would lie beneath the stone
But never die and I believed
That would be the end of it

Yeah you and I were meant to die
For all our love He sacrificed
Now all my days I will be here holding on
To what You did

I am believe in me
I know the truth is free
And if I choose to dance again here in the sun
I am yours and You are strong
