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
You 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 can"
And you said, "I am"
Only 16
Life is so mean
What kind of curfew is at 10 p.m.?
You saw my mistakes
You watched my heart break
Heard when I swore I'd 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 a pale candlelight
I said "forever" to what lies ahead
Two kids and a dream
With kids that can scream
Too much, it might seem, when it is 2 a.m.
And when I am weak
Unable to speak
Still, I will call You by name
Oh, Shepherd, Savior, Pasture maker
Hold onto my hand
You say, "I am"
The winds of change and circumstance
Blow in and all around us
So we find a foothold that's familiar
And bless the moments that we feel You nearer
When life had begun
I was woven and spun
You let the angels dance around the throne
And who can say when?
But they'll dance again
When I am free and finally headed home
I will be weak
Unable to speak
Still, I will call You by name
Creator, Maker, Life sustainer
Comforter, Healer, my Redeemer
Lord and King, Beginning and the End
I am
Yes, I am
