Iam

I am the beginning, I am the end, I am the universe and all that is in, I am visible but cannot be seen, I am the mountains, I am the sea, I am the dust from an ancient land, IAM The Creator, I am a man, I am the one from long ago, Who said to the Pharaoh, Let My People Go, I am the father, I am the son, I am the substance of which there is none, I am the angel with wide spread wings, IAM the Christ, King of all Kings, I am a country far across the sea, I am a people who has longed to be free, I am the captor, I am the slave, I am condemned, I am saved, I am the whip from which backs were scarred, I am the skin that was burned and charred, I am the woman who was born to be, A savior to a people who still are not free, I am a nation torn with great strife, I am the maker and taker of life, I am the one with a stovepipe hat, Who has carried a huge burden upon his back, I am a people who flew with the wind, Soared over mountains, We were very proud men, Soon we were scattered, Now we are few, We were the first to be robbed and misused, I am the one who was sent from above, To preach to the world of something called love, I am the mountain top to which few have seen, I am the one who full fills all your dreams, I am the staff that parted the sea, I have died so that I may be free, I am a slave, I am a queen, I am a vision, I am a dream, I am the future, I am the past, I am the first, I am the last, I am the lion, I am the lamb, I am, IAM!
