I  AM  THE  LORD
Isaiah  43:11-13,  15-16,  18-19  (ESV)
Music:  Lyle  Stutzman

"I  am  the  Lord,  
And  besides  Me  there  is  no  Saviour.
I  declared  and  saved  and  proclaimed
When  there  was  no  strange  god  
      among  you;
You  are  my  witnesses,"  declares  the  Lord,
"And  I  am  God.
Also  henceforth  I  am  He;
There  is  none  who  can  deliver
    from  My  hand.
I  work,  and  who  can  turn  it  back?"
Thus  says  the  Lord,
Your  redeemer,  the  Holy  One  of  Israel:
"I  am  the  Lord,  your  Holy  One,
The  Creator  of  Israel,  your  King."
Thus  says  the  Lord,
Who  makes  a  way  in  the  sea,  
A  path  in  the  mighty  waters,
"Remember  not  the  former  things,
Nor  consider  the  things  of  old.
Behold,  I  am  doing  a  new  thing;
Now  it  springs  forth.
I  will  make  a  way  in  the  wilderness;
I  will  make  rivers  in  the  desert."

I Am the Lord

Words by Scripture text: Isaiah 43:11-13, 15-16, 18-19 (ESV)Music by Lyle Stutzman

I am the Lord,
And besides Me there is no Saviour.
I declared and saved and proclaimed
When there was no strange god among you;
You are my witnesses, declares the Lord,
And I am God.
Also henceforth I am He;
There is none who can deliver
from My hand.
I work, and who can turn it back?
Thus says the Lord,
Your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
I am the Lord, your Holy One,
The Creator of Israel, your King.
Thus says the Lord,
Who makes a way in the sea,
A path in the mighty waters,
Remember not the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I am doing a new thing;
Now it springs forth.
I will make a way in the wilderness;
I will make rivers in the desert.

Story Behind the Song

I Am the Lord is a modern choral Scripture setting by Lyle Stutzman, using selected verses from Isaiah 43. The text emphasizes God's exclusive lordship, redemption, and promise to make a way in the wilderness. It is published as an SATB work with divisi by Blue Sky Music rather than as a standard congregational hymn with a traditional tune name.
