Lyrics

(Am)Whoa.

(C)Whoa.

I wan na be close,

(G)close to Your side,

so heav en is real

and (G)death is a lie.

I wan na hear voic es of (G)an gels a bove

sing ing as one:

(G)Hal le lu jah!

Ho ly, ho ly!

God Al might y, the great I AM.

Who is wor thy?

None be side Thee, God Al might y, the great I AM.

I wan na be near,

(G)near to Your heart,

lov ing the world

and (G)hat ing the dark.

I wan na see dry bones (G)liv ing a gain,

sing ing as one:

(G)Hal le lu jah!

Ho ly, ho ly!

God Al might y, the great I AM.

Who is wor thy?

None be side Thee, God Al might y, the great I AM.

the great I AM.

The moun tains shake be fore You, the de mons run and flee

at the men tion of the name “King of Maj es ty.” There is no pow’r in hell or an y who can stand be fore the pow er and the pres ence of the great I AM,

the great I AM,

the great I AM.

Yeah, (G)yeah.

Hal le lu

He’s the great I AM,

the great I AM.
