[Based on Exodus 3:14, John 8:58]
From the top of the mountains to the bottom of the sea
From beginning of time through eternity
From burning bush to Gethsemane
From the Red Sea shores to the Galilee
You are I Am, You are I Am
Let the heavens rejoice in you Your majesty
Let the earth hear Your voice in its purity
From the fiery furnace to upper room
From the lions' den to the empty tomb
You have always been - You will always be
Yesterday, today, and through eternity
I will always bow my knee
You will never cease to be I Am
From the breath of life to the Living Word
To the broken heart when good news is heard
