The EP opener, “ I Am” is a celebration of renewal in Christ. Despite all the struggles and flaws that often hold us back from living a blameless life, we are new creatures in His love; and through His grace we can realize our full spiritual potential. This song contrasts our shortcomings – as seen through our eyes – with our destiny as part of God’s plan.
I am a fuse lit burn and glow so you’d better get away
if you can’t defuse I will explode look at this mess I’ve made
I am the hero I am the snake caught in both lives
look past the fangs and just see the cape we’ll pretend that it’s alright
but you see who I am
underneath it all
I am redemption I am whole
I am a tragic wreck made perfect by a love I can’t control
I am determined to be defined by my hits not just my misses
stand up tall and say that this is who I am
I am addiction wrapped in a blanket of self control that’s worn so thin and tattered that the air seeps through the holes
I am admission to a history of falling short
a past that’s held me captive from accepting I am yours
but I am yours underneath
I am perfectly created with imperfect operation
I’m sure to steer myself somewhere that I do not belong
I am perfectly created with imperfect operation
I’ll put my hope in grace and know I’m never too far gone
this is my redemption
my reward
I am a tragic Wreck made perfect by a love I don’t deserve
