from JOB 38 & EXODUS 3
Lyrics
Who is it
that founded the earth?
Who determined its dimensions?
Who stretched the measuring line across it?
On what were its bases sunk?
Who laid its cornerstone,
when the morning stars sang together,
and all the sons of God
shouted for joy?
Who shut up the sea
behind closed doors
when it gushed forth from the womb,
Who made the clouds its blanket
and dense fog its swaddling cloth?
Who made the breakers its boundary,
set its gates and bars,
and told them
to come this far,
but no farther;
directed where its proud waves must stop?
CHORUS
It is Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh,
It is I am - I will be what I am - I will be
It is Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh
It is He,
It is He,
Who is for me!
Who knows if the rain has a father?
Who knows the father of dewdrops?
Who knows from whose womb ice comes?
Who put wisdom
in people’s inner parts;
gave understanding to their minds?
Who, by wisdom,
can number the clouds?
CHORUS
It is Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh,
It is I am - I will be what I am - I will be
It is Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh
He is the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob.
Who can raise His voice to the clouds;
and make them cover us
with a flood of rain?
Who can send lightning bolts on their way,
and they obey?
It is He who can tie up
the cords of the Pleiades
who can loosen
the belt of Orion!
CHORUS
It is Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh,
It is I am - I will be what I am - I will be.
It is Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh;
He is the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob.
CHORUS
This is His name forever -
This how He is to be remembered,
generation after generation;
Whose Son set me free,
Whose Spirit makes me see;
it is He, It is He Who is for me!
IT IS HE
WHO IS
FOR ME!
