I Am For You

There is a mountain, there is a sea.

There is a wind within all breathing.

There is an arm to break every chain.

There is a fire in all things living.

There is a voice that speaks from the flame:

I Am for You, I Am for You,

I Am for You is my name.

There was a woman, small as a star,

Full of the patient dreams of her nation,

Welcoming in an angel of God,

Welcoming in God’s bold invitation.

Let it be done, she sang, unto me:

I am for you, I am for you!

I am for you: let it be!

There was a man who walked in the storm,

Caught in between the waves and the lightning,

Sharing his bread with those cast aside,

Healing by touch the lost and the dying.

Sending us forth he says to his friends:

I am for you, I am for you,

I am for you to the end.

We are anointed servants of God.

We have been born again of spirit.

We are the word God speaks to the world,

Freedom and light to all who will hear it.

So let us be the word of our God:

I am for you, I am for you,

I am for you ever more.

There is a world that waits in the womb.

There is a hope unborn God is bearing.

Though the powers of death prowl the night,

There is a day our God is preparing.

Sing ‘round the fire to waken the dawn:

I am for you, I am for you!

I am for you: we are one!
