The Great I Am

I saw the Lord! In the thunder and rain! I saw the Lord When I called out his name! I sought through the stars The face of God! AND On this night I held no shame. On my feet Through the window I stared, Empty, Hollow, Grieving and scared. The emptiness in my spirit Could not compare, To an endless pit; A black hole of despair. And through the depths of my soul Through my shattered heart filled with pain, No one to turn to No one to heal me- No person No thing. But wow! The awesome power of EL Shaddai! He’d seen me on my knees! Grasping for air Tormented by grief, Yelling to him “Please!” “Please take this hurt! I don’t want to cry! Help me oh Lord! I fear I will die!” Millions of tears And words unsaid, My heart lay in pieces My spirit lay dead. But oh! The awesome power of the Lord! He picked me up- pieces and all! I didn’t go down into the pit! He didn’t let me fall! I looked up one day And I was healed! Another miracle Had been revealed! I am truly amazed by the Lord, My King! He has lifted me up onto eagle’s wings! I soar higher than EVER before As he leads me through a different door, “My treasure is in heaven!” I exclaim. And I remember The thunder and rain. But look! There is no going back I search only for him! For he is my love, My savior, The Great I AM!
