I Am
CeCe Winans' song "I Am" is a powerful declaration of God's sovereignty and sufficiency. The lyrics present God speaking directly, reminding listeners that He created the universe, controls nature, and is all they need. The song encourages believers to trust in His power and to call on Him in times of need, emphasizing that He desires to give them everything. It also expresses God's heartache when His children fail to seek Him, and it calls for praise from all creation, especially His children. The message is one of faith, assurance, and the intimate relationship God wants with His people.
I am the one, yes, I created the whole universe
Greater than anything in heaven and in all the earth
It's my air you breathe, so I'm the one that you should please
I am the one you need, why should you be alone?
I am that I am, I'm all that you need
I can, yes, I can, no, it ain't too hard for me
Do you know, really know, do you really believe?
Every day, every night of your life, I am
It hurts my heart indeed to see those whom I love in need
Knowing all I wonder, why they never call on me
If you just ask and I can satisfy you with the things
I'll give you everything, yes, you can have it all
I tell the sun to rise, the wind to blow, the rain to fall
I move the mountains and the oceans, rivers great and small
Yes, everything I made I want to hear them give me praise
Especially you, my children each and every day
I am that I am, I'm all that you need
I can, yes, I can, no, it ain't too hard for me
Do you know, really know, do you really believe?
Everyday, every night of your life
I am
