I wanted a song that gave people goosebumps when I performed it live. This one does just that

VERSE ONE:
Painted on a scroll
Wondrous deeds of long ago
The law, sacrifice, and sins of men
A promise to someday be free
Curses, judgment, catastrophe
Slaves from Egypt passing through the sea

CHORUS:
It is these that speak of me
You read the words and you never see
That I am He, I am the life
I am the son, the holy one
You see the works that I do
And these testify to you
That I am the way, I am the vine
I am the truth, I am the life

VERSE TWO:
I am the way the truth and the life
Come to me I can end the strife
Freedom, love, and life, forevermore
But you think there must be more
So you turn your back and shut the door
To enter again to sin and the curse of the law

Repeat CHORUS:

Bridge:
You work your whole life through
You strive to be holy too
But you never come to me
You never come to me
You read but never see
The life I have in me
I am the holy one
I am Gods’ only son
I am, I am

Return to Chorus and end

(song is based on Jesus Words in John 5)
