I Am

I am the King
the one they've been waiting on
my mother is Mary
and my father a descendent of David
I am the fulfillment
The answer to a 1000 year promise

I am filled with love
My Father sustains me always
Trails I have faced
but to none have I fallen
I bring a message
it's filled with hope and redemption

however, as I set out
with this kingdom before me
I feel something looming
a future of pain yet to be told
it troubles me
this impending pain that awaits me

I feel my arms spread
and know my blood will spill
I hear echoes of voices
they accuse me and sentence me
they will destroy me
for they do not believe it is I

fate awaits me
with names of all and all to come
they are written
they are all upon me as I step out
but I do walk
I step forward as faith fills me

for I know my Father
His heart is mine and mine His
and I know this love
it will not end in darkness
I believe in hope
even as the darkest night's upon us

a morning will surely come
and bring new light to this broken world
