Do You Know "I AM"?

Do You Know “I AM”?

When you say,

“Have Your Way in me.”

And when you pray,

“Not my way

Oh Lord, but Yours,”

 Do you really know what you’re praying for?

I AM the Door

 To life through death to self.

Through poverty of spirit,

I produce Heaven’s wealth

I AM the Way

 Of which you pray.

Yet, My Way is to obey

Every Word that Abba has to say.

My Way

Is for every disciple to lay

Down their life at the foot of the cross,

To count the cost

And consider all else but loss

For the excellency of knowing Me.

I AM the Truth written on the parchment of the scroll

I AM the Living Torah

Of which every Christian proclaims to know,

Yet, only a remnant seeks to follow

Rather than to wallow

In the dead waters, oh so shallow.

I AM the Life

Of which I proclaim in my

Wedding vows to my beloved wife.

I AM the voice of the One

And only Son

Who has won

The heart of a spotless Bride

Whose only desire is to abide

In me

So, when you say,

“Have Your way in me.”

And when you pray,

“Not my way

Oh Lord, but yours,”

Do you really know what you’re praying for?
