Nicole 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,


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 ten PM 
You saw my mistakes, You watched my heart break 
Heard when I swore I’d never love again


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”


You saw me 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 two AM


when I am weak, unable to speak, 
still I will call You by name. 
Oh Shepherd, Savior, Pasture-makerhold on to my hand,” 
and You say “I am.”


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.


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.”


-
a song that touches and still moves me each and every time i hear it
the lyrics are meaningfully written
i believe everyone can relate to them
He is there, in your failures and mistakes,
and He is already everything we could ever ask for
