MercyMe, “You Are I Am”

Contemporary Christian supergroup MercyMe has released You Are I Am as the second single off its latest release, The Hurt and the Healer.

MercyMe has always released excellent singles to radio, and You Are I Am is one of the group’s strongest. One of its greatest strengths is how it is able to capture the perspective of the
Christian every man, and anyone who listens to You Are I Am will be able to relate to the emotion expressed by the song. We’ve all been through times of doubt, we’ve all been through the difficulty, through the ambiguity, through the times we thought God might not be enough. And we’ve all been there when God came through to assuage our fears. You Are I Am captures that roller coaster ride of faith; it’s a brilliant expression of what it means to be human and rely on Someone greater. Once again, Bart Millard and his colleagues have crafted something incredible.

YOU ARE I AM Lyrics
MercyMe

I’ve been the one to shake with fear
And wonder if You’re even here
I’ve been the one to doubt Your love
I’ve told myself You’re not enough

I’ve been the one to try and say
I’ll overcome by my own strength
I’ve been the one to fall apart
And to start to question who You are

You’re the one who conquers giants
You’re the one who calls out kings
You shut the mouths of lions
You tell the dead to breathe
You’re the one who walks through fire
You take the orphan’s hand
You are the one Messiah
You are I am
You are I am

I’ve been the one held down in chains
Beneath the weight of all my shame
I’ve been the one to believe
That where I am You cannot reach

You’re the one who conquers giants
You’re the one who calls out kings
You shut the mouths of lions
You tell the dead to breathe
You’re the one who walks through fire
You take the orphan’s hand
You are the one Messiah
You are I am
You are I am

The veil is torn
And now I live with the Spirit inside
The same one, the very same one
who brought the Son back to life

Hallelujah, He lives in me
Hallelujah, He lives in me
Hallelujah, He lives in me
Hallelujah, He lives in me

You’re the one who conquers giants
You’re the one who calls out kings
You shut the mouths of lions
You tell the dead to breathe
You’re the one who walks through fire
You take the orphan’s hand
You are the one Messiah
You are I am
You are I am
