I Come Before the Great I Am
Song by Mariah Hlatywayo, photography by Kym van der Plas
1)I come before the great I Am
When I am insecure
He is the Rock, his works are perfect,
And of this I am sure
He is the one who holds me
And truly, deeply knows me
He made me and He loves me
What should I doubt him for?
2)I come before the great I am
Whenever I cannot see
His Holy Word, it lights the way
The Gospel, it sets me free
He is the one who holds me
And truly, deeply knows me
He made me and He loves me
Why should I be afraid?
3)I come before the great I Am
Bending to His design
I walk by faith and not by sight
Fullness of joy is mine
He is the one who holds me
And truly, deeply knows me
He made me and He loves me
He’ll never let me go
