Nicole Nordeman

This past Sunday I used the song "I AM" by Nicole Nordeman to help illustrate God's faithfulness throughout life. Here are the lyrics...hope they encourage you today also.

Pencil marks on a wall, I wasn´t always this tall
You scattered some monsters from beneath my bed
You watched my team win
You watched my team lose
Watched when my bicycle went down again
And when I was weak, unable to speak
Still I could call You by name
And I said, Elbow Healer, Superhero
Come if You canYou said, I Am

Only sixteen, life´s so mean
What kind of curfew is at 10pm?
You saw my mistakes
And watched my heart break
Heard when I swore I would never love again
And when I was weak, unable to speak
Still I could call You by name
And I said Heartache Healer, Secret Keeper
Be my best friend
And you said, I Am

You saw me wear white by pale candlelight
I said forever to what lies ahead
Two kids & a dream, with kids that can scream
Too much it might seem when it´s 2am
And when I´m weak, unable to speak
Still I´ll call You by name
Shepherd, Savior, Pasture Maker
Hold onto my hand
You say, I Am

The winds of change & circumstance blow in & all around us
So we find a foothold that is familiar
And bless the moments that we feel You nearer

When life had begun,
I was woven & spun
You let the angels dance around the throne
And who can say when, but they will dance again
When I´m free & finally headed home
I´ll be weak, unable to speak
Still I´ll call You by name
Creator, Maker, Life Sustainer
Comforter, Healer, my Redeemer
Lord & King, Beginning & the End
I Am
Yes, I Am
