I wanna be close, close to Your side
So Heaven is real and death is a lie
I wanna hear voices of angels above
Singing as one
Hallelujah, holy holy
God Almighty, great I am
Who is worthy, none beside Thee
God Almighty, great I am
I wanna be near, near to Your heart
Loving the world and hating the dark
I wanna see dry bones living again
Singing as one
Hallelujah, holy holy
God Almighty, great I am
Who is worthy, none beside Thee
God Almighty, great I am
The great I am
The great I am
The mountains shake before You
The demons run and flee
At the mention of Your name, King of majesty
There is no power in hell or any who can stand
Before the power and the Presence of the great I am
The great I am, the great I am!
The great I am, the great I am
The great I am!
Hallelujah, holy holy
God Almighty, great I am
Who is worthy, none beside Thee
God Almighty, great I am
Hallelujah, holy holy
God Almighty, great I am
Who is worthy, none beside Thee
God Almighty, great I am!...
The great I am!
The great I am!
The great I am!
