The Great I Am

Royston 1946 (Reading)



Before the beginning of time and space.
Before the onset of the human race.
He was there, The Triune One
The Father, The Spirit and The Son.

Before photonic light began to sparkle.
Before the first sub atomic particle.
He was there. The Almighty One.
The Father, The Spirit and The Son.

Before the material universe began.
Before the footsteps of the first man.
He was there. The Omnipresent One.
The Father, The Spirit and The Son.

When all the dominions of man have crumbled
and earthly despots and rulers have tumbled.
He will reign supreme. The Omnipotent One.
The Father, The Spirit and The Son.

After all created things cease to be
and all the starlight fades into history.
He will still be there. The Omniscient One.
The Father, The Spirit and The Son.

All things surpassing and outlasting.
From everlasting to everlasting.
He is The Mighty Eternal One.
The Father, The Spirit and The Son.
