Nicole Nordeman - I Am lyrics

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, and watched my team lose

Watches when my bicycle went down again.

When I was weak, unable to speak, still I could call you by name

And I said Elbow Healer, Super Hero, come if you can.

You said, I am.

Only sixteen, life is so mean

What kind of curfew’s at 10 pm?

You saw my mistakes and watched my heart break

Hears when I said I’d never love again

When I was weak, unable to speak, still I could call you by name

And I said Heartache Healer, Secret keeper, be my best Friend

You said, I am.

You saw my wear white by pale candle light

I said ‘forever’ to what lies ahead

Two kids and a dream, with kids that can scream

Too much it might seem when it is at 2 am.

When I am weak, unable to speak still I will call you by name

Oh, Shepard, Savior, Pasture Maker, Hold on to my hand.

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.

When 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 End

I am. I am.
