Eu Sou

I Am

I am
I am God of the past, I am God of the present
And the future too
I don't listen to advice, I don't ask for favors
I don't owe anyone
No one deceives me nor hides from me
Because I see everything

I am
The first and the last, I am absolute
What was what's to come, I own it all
There is nothing you can give me, for even you are mine

I am
Who closed the mouths of the lions and freed Daniel
I delivered my people from Egypt, my name is faithful
Who walked with the three young men in that fiery furnace?

It is I who put a lock on the sea
Who opened the floodgates of heaven
I made water gush out of the rock, I consumed Abel's offering
I ascended the pillar of fire, an altar of firewood and fire
It is I who opened the red sea and drowned in it
I heard the voice of my people
There is no one who can stop me from acting, I am Almighty

I am God of heaven, I am God of earth
I am a God of peace, I am a God of war
I am calm, I am noisy
I am deliverance, I am your friend
I am God from afar, I am God up close
I am the one who orders the order and operates
I am, I am

I command death, I command life
I send it below, I send it above
I rule over time, I rule over kings
I command everything, because I created everything

Nothing escapes my presence
My omniscience and my vision

I have all the control in my hands

I am the one who answered
Before Abraham was: I am
I am the one who appeared to Moses
In the middle of the bush and said: I am
I am the one who said to Isaiah
Even before there was day: I am
I am the one who appeared to John
In the midst of the seven golden candlesticks
And he fell like dead at my feet
And I said to him: Do not be afraid John!
I am the first and the last
What I live and was killed
But behold, I am alive forever and ever amen
I have the keys to death and hell
Oh my church, fear not
'Cause whatever you need me to be, I am
I am, I am
