There’s no space that His love can’t reach
There’s no place where we can’t’ find peace
There’s no end to amazing grace
Take me in with Your arms spread wide
Take me in like an orphan child
Never let go
Never leave my side
I am
Holding on to You
I am
Holding on to You
In the middle of the storm
I am holding on
I am
Love like this
Oh, my God, to find
I am overwhelmed
With a joy divine
Love like this sets our hearts on fire
This is my resurrection song
This is my Hallelujah come
This is why it’s to You I run

The name of God when it’s revealed seems to be a very big moment in history. He says “I AM.” That evokes the idea of His presence, of being in His name. For me that is one of the greatest hopes of the Christian faith. No matter where you are in life, you live and breathe in the very presence of God and He has given access to Himself. The Creator of the universe has given access to us and that’s gorgeous. So many times I forget about that and I need to be realigned to that reality.

Life is full of storms…unplanned changes…unexpected detours. Some storms are bigger than others. But how we get through those storms depends on what we are holding onto and, more importantly, Who is holding onto us.
Listening to David Crowder talk about this song, I had a light bulb moment. I Am is the ‘Great I AM’. He is holding onto us! He holds us more tightly than we could ever hold on to Him. He never lets go of us. Isaiah 40:13 (NLT) tells us “He will carry the lambs in His arms, holding them close to His heart.” Isaiah 41:13 (HCSB) states “For I, Yahweh your God, hold your right hand and say to you: Do not fear, I will help you.” I AM holds us close to His heart. I AM takes our right hand like a Father and leads us through the storm. He never leaves our side.
This is what I need to remember as I deal with the curves life is throwing me right now. Just thinking about I AM holding onto me gives me chills and makes me smile at the same time. He is my ‘resurrection song’. He is my ‘hallelujah come’. That’s why it’s to Him I run because
Excellent way to start my day! Thank you, Cynda, for sharing.
