Not The Great I Was

I just listened to a song on one of the new CD’s we purchased at the Silver Dollar City Gospel Festival.  It was by the same pastor and his family that I referenced Monday that was singing.  His name is Hosea Bilyeu from Springfield, Missouri. To me it was a so appropriate follow-up to yesterday’s blog.  There is nothing that I can say to add, so just please read the lyrics.


You can listen on youtube.com to the song.  It is song by another singer, but it is also very good.  The link is:

(you will have to copy this and put it into your browser, I do not think this blog site does not do a direct link.  It is worth the trouble.  Otherwise just go to youtube.com and search; the great I was )

Not The Great I Was

He created heaven, He made earth, He made the light
He told the sun to rule the day and the moon to rule the night
He made mighty rivers flow, He made the mountains tall
And every living creature and the man who ruled them all
And when He saw that what He made was working like it should
He made an observation and He said “It was good”

Looking through the scriptures I can see He wasn’t through
He said I am the Great I Am and there’s nothing I can’t do
He could heal the blinded eyes and make the lame to walk
He could make the deaf to hear and make the dumb to talk
He never stopped at anything that got into His way
He’s still in charge and in control of all He made today

He’s the God who made the universe
Put the stars in space
He’s still working miracles
I can see them all over the place
Not just the God who one time did
He’s the God who does
That’s why they call Him the Great I Am’
Not the great I Was

He can move the mountain with the sound of just His voice
He can stop the sun or moon if it becomes His choice
He’s the great Physician when they’ve given up on you
He’s just getting started when they’ve done all they can do
He’s the God of Moses, He’s the God of Abraham
He’s the one and only God, He’s the Great I Am

He’s the God who made the universe
Put the stars in space
He’s still working miracles
I can see them all over the place
Not just the God who one time did
He’s the God who does
That’s why they call Him the Great I Am’
Not the great I Was

He’s the God who made the universe
Put the stars in space
He’s still working miracles
I can see them all over the place
Not just the God who one time did
He’s the God who does
That’s why they call Him the Great I Am’
Not the great I Was
Not the great I Was

Not the great I Was
He's the Great I Am
