Kirk Franklin - I Am lyrics

rate me

How do you do?

I am a sinner.

Born into sin and shaped in iniquity.

Now a believer; not who I was but still not what I shall be

You found me and gave me your name and;

Things I desired have changed but

Inside you’ll see it's still broken pieces

Deep in me reaches for you.

How do you do?

I am a beggar.

Desperate for more,

I hunger for your truth

See I am shattered.

And though I may fall still you make all things new.

You speak, the storm, it obeys and,

Gone is the weight of mistakes and;

Though I still feel you continue to heal, look close and see, whoa

Chorus

I am so far from perfect

I thought life was worthless

Until you showed me who I am

Not here by mistake

No luck only grace

I'm on my way to

Who I am,

I am (repeats 3x)

Thank God I am,

I am, I am...

How do you do?

I am a winner

I've lost a few and life's knocked me to my knees

But now I am standing

Not by my power, but your life inside of me

Even through seasons and changes

No tear has ever been wasted

Misunderstood still it worked for my good look now and see

I am not the old me but still

Chorus

I am...

I'm here and I'm closer (closer),

My praise now is stronger (stronger).

Stood up to fear (fear),

By faith I'm still here (I am still here).

Tried to walk away (way),

Love said not today (not today).

Times haven't seen,

What God has for me.

The hurt and the lies

Through the pain through the night

I cried and I cried

Yet still I survived.

Chorus x2

I am...
