AUTHOR: Witness Lee

1Gracious Lord, Thy name “I AM” is,
 Precious name, how rich and full ‘tis,
 All-inclusive, faithful too ‘tis-
   All we need, Thou art!
2Thou the Son, the Father in Thee,
 As the Spirit now indwell me,
 That the riches of Thyself we
   May experience.
3Thou the Temple for God’s dwelling,
 Thou the Father’s life e’er telling;
 We in Thee with joy excelling
   Face to face see Him.
4Thou the Lamb and Thou the Bridegroom,
 For the bride Thou sufferedst sin’s doom,
 Wounded, crucified in our room;
   Thus we find our rest.
5Thou art wisdom and the way, Lord,
 Thou our lives dost plan each day, Lord,
 Grace to us Thou dost convey, Lord,
   In Thy path to walk.
6Pure and holy, righteous Thou art,
 One with God, well-pleasing His heart,
 Thou within to us dost impart
   Harmony with God.
7Thou art life and Thou art light, Lord,
 Death hast swallowed, banished night, Lord,
 Thou hast quickened, given sight, Lord;
   We are now set free.
8Thou art resurrection power,
 Thou the conqu’ror in hell’s hour;
 Thou dost us with might empower
   Over all to reign.
9Living water, food supply, Lord,
 Thou Thyself art, and didst die, Lord,
 All our want to satisfy, Lord;
   Now we feast on Thee.
10Thou the Shepherd and Physician,
 Thou hast healed our sick condition;
 Comfort, guide, protect-Thy mission;
   Thou dost care for us.
11Priest and King Thou art fore’er, Lord;
 Into God we’re brought, and there, Lord,
 Thine authority we share, Lord;
   What an honored place!
12Thou our Hope and our Redemption,
 Thou wilt change our old creation,
 Make of Thee a duplication,
   Thus Thyself express.
13Thou our Joy, our Peace, our Glory;
 Truth, and Grace, the Rock, the Life-tree,
 Building, Mountain, Sun, and Shield-we
   Ne’er can tell it all.
14What Thou art-eternal, boundless,
 Full and perfect, rich, exhaustless-
 Meets our need to utter fullness
   And from us o’erflows.
