I Am That I Am

I was with you in the beginning

                                             With me is eternity

                   With me there is no ending because I Am that I Am

                                I watch over you I care for you

                           When all else fails I will be here for you

                                        All around you is vanity

                         But I am tried I am true because I Am that I Am

                                      Close your eyes what do you see?

                                               Nothing but darkness

                                          Even in this you can find me

                                    I created the night I created the day

                                           I created you I am the way

                                    Do not fear as fear battles with love

                                I am love I am in you and you are in me

                                         We are one I have been with you

                           Since your life begun because I Am that I Am

                                            


                                               Gloria Ann Benton
