I AM

I went to the earth because I was hungry.
But it said, "I am not whom you seek.
There is still one greater, and you will
feast upon His wisdom."

I left,
and in my disappointment,
my hunger grew greater.
I was empty.

I went to the sea, for my thirst was great.
But it said, "I am not whom you seek.
There is still one greater, and you will
drink from His chalice,
filled with hope and love."

I left,
and in my disappointment,
my thirst grew greater.
I was empty.

Then I went to the heavens because I was hungry
and my thirst was greater still.
There He said, "I AM, and always will be.
Feast on My wisdom, it is here for the taking.
Just ask, and you will never be hungry.

"I AM, and always will be.
Drink from My chalice, a bottomless
cup of hope and love,
It is here for the taking. Just ask, and
you will thirst no more."

I left,
and in my joy and rapture,
I danced and sang praise to Yahweh
alongside the earth and sea.
I was full.
