Grade Level 2
Year: 2002
Type: Hymn/Song Arrangement
Composer: Robert Redhead
Program Notes:
This song was written by Major Chick Yuill, a UK officer (pastor) who, with his wife, has traveled extensively throughout the world, teaching and expressing through personal faith and witness, that the God we worship is the great “I AM.” He is the “I Am” of Creation through to the end of time, and yet is totally relevant in this 21st Century.
The song was first published in a collection of new Salvation Army songs and choruses, Happiness & Harmony (London: Salvationist Publishing & Supplies, 1990). The words express thoughts found in Isaiah 9:6,7, and are a great help to all Christians as they ponder the meaning of a God who is incarnate in our world and yet majestically greater than the totality of all creation.
