He is Therefore, I Am

I am storm hunter

My soul has risen

and has been rescued

From unknown depths

I am the heart fearless

For within my chest

Beats six thousand years of hope

Neither valleys steeped in shadows deep

Nor arrows piercing the night

Shall separate me

From the incredible love of Christ


I am dream chaser

I speed towards the light of His coming

With humble fearlessness

My faith has been tempered and tested in

Dens of lions and heated furnaces of the sun

I see only one Face

Calling, reaching, touching

Down into my life

Resurrecting and redirecting

Mounting standards and making milestones of miracles


I am time splitter

Past and Future live under

Tents of glory

Hoisted in praise

Spread in love

Brandished for days

Under the Son of Righteousness

The present is the future of my past

I unwrap it with glee

Knowing that before I am

You were

and…

Forever-more will be.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
