Lyrics
Before florescent formations ever
fomented the foundations of your firmament that is
Before the stars in your sky ever entered existence
Before the light knew what bright meant
Before the sky had a clue where up went
Before either were ever invented I Am
Before terrestrial perennials terraced
your planet's territorial terrain that is
Before the plants on your ground were ever ordained
Before roots were ever arranged
Before fruit had a taste
Before either had a name
I Am
Before the ocean had a bowl
Before the surf discovered its roll
Before the grave was made Sheol
Before man had a soul I Am
Before Eden was installed
Before the garden's serpent crawled
Before the tree, before the fall I Am
For I am truth before there ever could be false
I am perfection before there ever could be faults
I am by all In all through all, all in all and I am to be called I Am
Before the curse usurped the ground and drove you away from the divine
Before you felt the separation between
who you are and the intention of your design
Before you tried to abide in sources of death in order to find life
Before you combined yourself with any form of Pleasure you could find
Before you felt so alone
Before you felt so dry
Before you tried to run away from My side I Am
I am the vine
Before the cherubim ever guarded the garden
Before the flaming sword was ever sharpened
Before that chasm between God and man was ever widened
Before you lost all hope in becoming a citizen of heaven
Before all you earned was endless flame
Before all you deserved was righteous pain
Before you were a sheep hoping not just to be some Lion's prey
Before you were a lost lamb longing
for a pen longing to escape your fate
I Am
I am the gate
Before sustenance turned to gluttony and food became an enemy
Before attraction was based in
anatomy and sex was removed from matrimony
Before money became morality and greed grew into the only causality
Before you were empty without Me
Before you tried to satisfy your appetite with anything
Before you strived to feel alive by filling your
strife with the fleeting vices of your fleshly devices
Before your hunger for relief left pangs in your side
I Am
I am the bread of life
Before you became acquainted with pain and death
Before you ever tasted loneliness
Before disease destroyed what you possess
Before eyes could be blind
Before ears could go deaf
Before you lost the one you love to the Grave's unyielding cleft I Am
For before mankind stopped living so that they might just survive
I am the resurrection and the life
Before that sadness that grips your mind
led you to darkness and thoughts of suicide
Before that distortion of man hurt you so that you now hurt yourself
Before you knew razors and wrists could create a new hell
Before those wounds turned to scars
and scars became a way of life I Am
I am the light
Before you even knew how to sin I am where your salvation begins
For before you withdrew from the path of My way
Before you wilfully and joyously disobeyed
Before you betrayed the gift that I gave of that breath in your lungs
That life in your airways
By saying no to My love and yes to your heresy
Before you engaged with the enemy Waged in sin with intensity
Before you de-reigned My supremacy, enflamed My jealousy
Before you chose
Greed over My adequacy
Lies over My accuracy
Pride over My advocacy
Before you chose your sinful self over Me I Am
I am the Good Shepherd Who lays down His life for His sheep
For before you were a spotted lamb I Am
For I am the way before you could ever run away from My call
I am the truth before you could ever walk away from My law
I am the life before you could ever
turn away from My cross at Golgotha's score,
So I beg you now to withdraw
Withdraw from your sin for I am your only temptation
Withdraw from yourself for I am making you a new creation
Withdraw from your pride for I am ruining your reputation
Withdraw from self-righteousness for I am your only mediation
Withdraw from your hopes and dreams for I am your only expectation
Withdraw from your life for I am your crucifixion
Before all time I am all sufficient
Before all titles and designations
to My name alone do the cosmos listen
For
I am Jesus
I am the Word
I am Elohim
I am the Lord
I am the Christ
I am Messiah
I am Creator
I am Jehovah Jireh
I am the Lamb of God
I am Immanuel
I am the Begotten Son
I am Holy One of Israel
I am the First fruits
I am the Prince of Peace
I am the Bridegroom
I am the King of kings
I am the God of Abraham
I am the God of Jacob
I am the Alpha
I am the Omega
I am the Holy One worthy of praise
So withdraw unto My side
Withdraw and be made Mine
Withdraw and with Me stay
Withdraw into My way
