The Great I Am
From the mountains above
And the valleys below,
I see all Gods children
Gather 'round His heavenly throne.
I look to the North
I look to the South
I look to the East
And I look to the West
All I can see is the Lord's glory
Shining about like a never-ending love story.
Jesus said "there is no pain, there is no more sorrow,
There is no today, there is no tomorrow.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I am The Great I Am!!"
