I AM (JOHN 18:5-6)

IN SHOCK
THE SOLDIERS FELL BACK
FELL DOWN

THE JEWISH SOLDIERS THOUGHT
BLASPHEMY
THE ROMAN SOLDIERS THOUGHT
LUNACY

THE ROOT WAS THE SAME
THE MAN HAD DECLARED HIMSELF
GOD
HAD DECLARED HIMSELF
I AM

AN ECHO OF LONG AGO
A BURNING BUSH
AND MOSES

I AM

BEFORE TIME BEGAN
I AM

AS LONG AS TIME RUNS
I AM

WHEN TIME SHALL CEASE
I AM

WHO DO YOU SEEK

JESUS OF NAZARETH

I AM

LET MY FRIENDS GO
YOU ARE LOOKING FOR I AM

I’VE ALREADY TOLD YOU
I AM HE



THEN THIS GREAT GOD
WHO LEAPED FROM HEAVEN
TO BE WITH MEN
TOOK THE FORM OF A COMMON CRIMINAL
AND WENT TO HIS DEATH

WHERE EVERYTHING WAS TAKEN AWAY

MOTHER
FRIENDS
DIGNITY
CLOTHES
LIFE

BUT BEFORE DEATH
WOULD COME THE WORST OF ALL
WHEN HE FELT HIS FATHER
HAD ABANDONED HIM

THE WORST LOSS OF ALL

HE DIED
AS ALL MEN DIE
PLEADING FOR GOD TO TAKE HIM

WHO DO YOU SEEK
JESUS OF NAZARETH
WHO DO WE SEEK
JESUS OF NAZARETH
THE GREAT
I AM
