I Am God, There Is No Other

Tune #864 (Praise, My Soul, the God of Heaven)

1

I am God, there is no other;

I, the Lord of heav=n and earth.

Loving Father, nursing Mother,

I, the One who gave you birth.

Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the God of endless worth.

2

I, the Lord, and none beside me,

making weal, creating woe.

You, my child, I save and carry;

turn my face against the foe.

Alleluia! Alleluia! Raise our voice that all may know.

3

First and last, your God forever,

comforter, deliv=rer, friend;

my salvation failing never,

I, your God unto the end.

Alleluia! Alleluia! Prayers and praise to you ascend.

4

Do not fear, for I am with you,

I will strengthen and uphold;

I, your helper, will redeem you,

bring you home as I=ve foretold.

Alleluia! Alleluia! God restores us now twofold.

5

I, the Lord, have made and formed you;

you are mine, I call your name.

Through the waters, I protect you;

I preserve you through the flame.

Alleluia! Alleluia! God, our Savior, we proclaim.

6

I, the Holy One of Israel,

I am making all things new;

you, my own, my crown, my jewel,

my delight, my servant true.

Alleluia! Alleluia! Gladly, we bring praises due.

7

I blot out all your transgressions,

I remember sin no more,

breaking bars, dismantling dungeons,

throwing open every door.

Alleluia! Alleluia! Now set free, our praises soar.

8

See my servant, bruised and broken,

sent that all may healing find.

He the word that I have spoken;

he the hope of humankind.

Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise to him with heart and mind.

9

You, a light to every nation;

you, my servants, called and sent;

witnesses in all creation,

healers in a planet rent.

Alleluia! Alleluia! Hear our praise, heed our lament.
