“I AM who who I AM, this is my Name”
Your Father, Creator, forever the same
No idol compares, no god stands near
For I AM the one the nations should fear
The Name above all names
I AM who I AM
The Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
Yahweh, who brings into being
Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End
Abba, our Father
El Shaddai, Mighty and Strong
El-Elyon Most High, to You belongs our song
Hallelujah, the everlasting El
There is none like You, Emmanuel
El Roi the God who sees
Adonai Master of all through years
He made the heavens, He formed the seas
All creation bows on bended knee
He made us not because He was alone
But that His glory would be known
We were made to worship, not to stray
To serve the One true Elohim His holy way
For He is merciful, righteous, and true
The Great I AM all praise is due
Everything that has breath, let it proclaim
Yahweh reigns forever, blessed be His Name
Not unto us, but unto Him we sing
The only living Elohim, our Eternal King
Yeshua, His Son, testified clear
All glory to My Father the One we revere
I do nothing on my own accord
But only what I see from My Father
He said, only One is good your Father above
Keep His commands and walk in His love
Do His will, and you’ll be called His own
Sons and daughters before His throne
I AM Who I AM
Forever You reign, the great I AM
Yahweh faithful through every age
Your truth and mercy never fade
We are one with You through Your way
Set apart from the world, pure we stay
Hallelujah All praise to the King
The Great I AM to You we sing
He is worthy, holy, merciful, true
All power and might belong to You
From everlasting to everlasting, You are El
The Great I Am
None like You dwell
Hallelujah, forevermore
For you My Father, we give all glory and praise
You alone are our Father, the everlasting One
