I know I am as He created me

I know that, whatsoever God doeth it shall be for ever. (Ecclesiastes 3:14 AV)

I know I am as He created me;
I know you only see the one that dies:
The self I am is not the man you see.

There ís One who is God the Only Free;
There ís One who is God the Only Wise.
I know I am as He created me.

You judged Him an impossibility,
But thereby have you blinded both your eyes.
The self I am is not the man you see.

He dreamed me, and He then commanded, “Be!”
Then placed me in a world of vast surprise.
I know I am as He created me.

You heard the whisper of the enemy:
Because you dared believe the devil’s lies
The self I am is not the man you see.

You locked your heart and threw away the key,
And so you only see the one that dies.
The self I am is not the man you see.
I know I am as He created me.

John Jeremiah Edminster (Stillwater Meeting, OYM), 3/2025
