He is

In Exodus, God meets up with Moses for the first time and speaks to him through the burning bush. They begin to have this intense discussion as God tells Moses of His plans for him- that Moses is to go back to Egypt and lead His people out of their slavery there. Moses is so humbled at this and he says to God, "But who am I that I should lead Your people? And how will Your people know that it really is the God of their fathers who sent me? Who shall I tell them sent me?"

And God responds to this with, "I am who I am. Tell the Isrealites that I AM sent you."

I AM. Yah.

Lord of empty space
You breathe and then create
Before the earth was made
You are...

That's all that mattered, God saying, "I AM" and the Isrealites knew. And they had faith.

The King of every age
Outside of time and space
The heavens speak Your name
You are...

That should be enough for me, too, right?

The one who calms the seas
And every part of me
With just a word you speak
You are...

Being in complete awe of who You are...

Angels bowing down
Beneath the rushing sound
A voice that thunders out
You are...

In such complete awe of You that everyone knows...

The one who holds the stars
And the beating of my heart
Exalted above all
You are...

Being in awe of I AM, so my cry becomes You are! and all those who see know... He is.

so I give you all of me, for all You are, here I am, take me apart...

I know what it is to make the revelation of that cry. Music is a healing gift of God. I congratulate you on all you have accomplished, it's more that anyone will ever give you credit for. Some of my friends and I are doing a liturgical dance to this song, which is why I ended up at your blogs. Keep working, Jesus has great plans for you, I see that even if you think no one else does. I love you but it is not my love but my Fathers that matters to you.
