Songs from Scripture

I AM (The Seven I AM's from the Gospel of John)

I am the true bread of life
For all who hunger and thirst
Come from the darkness and find
I am the light of the world (2x)

I am the way
I am the truth and the life

I am the good shepherd
Who lays down his life for the sheep
The thief comes to kill and destroy
But I am the door for the sheep
I am the door for the sheep

Remember you are just a branch
I am the only true vine
Believe in Me for I am
The resurrection and life (2x)

ENDING
I am the true bread of life
For all who hunger and thirst
Come from the darkness and find
I am the light of the world
I am the light of the world

You are Beautiful

I’ve left my first love
For sorrows and lies
I’ve fallen so far
Have mercy, O Christ
Sanctify me
With Your words of truth
Nothing compares to knowing You.

One thing I ask,
Beyond everything,
Give me eyes to see…

You are beautiful
You are wonderful
Crowned with glory
Broken for me
You are beautiful

More than my love
For blessings and health,
More than this world’s
Pleasures and wealth,
Better than life is your love for me,
Holy and Blessed Trinity.

More than my love
For blessings and health
