 Based off of Exodus 3:14 for about 2 years now I've been saying this phrase "Even now, I Am!"  As a reminder to myself that no matter what I'm going through God is in control. Our situations change daily and in All of it, God is still on His Throne, Holy and in control. In the bridge I also go through the 7 I Am statements of Christ starting at John 6:35.
That's what this song is about, the GREAT I Am. I hope it blesses you:
v1
Getting tired Giving in Giving up our way to win
Pressing on even now, I Am
Whats the truth whos to say
its been changing everyday
Pressing on even now, I Am
If the truth changes is that not a lie?
Living by faith we will not compromise
Even now, I Am
God is in Control
Every situation
Seated on His throne
Shining in the darkness 
revealing all thats right
testify lifting high the Great I Am
By His word battles rise
earnestly fight for the prize
pressing on even now, I Am
Steady victory is won
Ready our eyes on the Son
Pressing on even now, I Am
if the truth changes is that not a lie?
living by faith we will not compromise
repeat chorus
I Am the Bread of Life, I Am the Light of the world
I Am the Door I Am the Good Shepherd 
I Am the Resurection and the Life
I Am The Way, The Truth and The Life
I Am The Vine
Repeat Chorus

Even Now I Am

Method: Actually, more melodic than expected because I wanted to experiment with some material. 
Narration: It is what it is, as real as horrific.

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

the business end of ancient animus
is still on fire, unabated
grossing sparks of spiteful surplus
all reinsurance underrated

the case is made for making corpses
the strive to stir quenches all hope to quell
war drums beat on cinder markets
up in arms and arms for sale

purple priests bless patriotic weapons
as targets are assigned and met
the price of life stock plunges as it happens
there is no need to feed the dead
be calm, my child, it‘s just a proxy conflict
the horror‘s shipped, we reap the profit

What began as a collaboration with Debra Buesking has expanded to include the wonderful vocal talent of Paolo Pieraccini (@mayadog).  His singing, especially in Italian, gives the song a sweet, emotional intimacy and urgency.  A lovely honor to have him grace our song with his talent. Hear more fine music on his profile and Debbie's too @debra_buesking. 
Lyrics in Italian and English:
Dimmi dove sei
Torno a casa e non ti trovo più
Le tue calze sopra il letto
Sempre accesa la TV

Non dimentico
Le tue promesse in bilico
e le domeniche
Sempre spese solo dove decidi tu
Forse ho il cuore troppo piccolo
Per lasciarti la tua libertà
casca il mondo
quando te ne vai

Mille baci e poi
All’improvviso il vuoto fra di noi
Non so perché rimango appeso qui
Il tuo canto mi ha ingannato
e come Ulisse mi salverò
Ma poi ricadrò
nella tua tela ancora

Sei sparita ormai
irraggiungibile
ma è sicuro io ti troverò per dirti che
che non mi arrendo e voglio solo te
Puoi scommetterci
Vorrei sentire ancora i brividi
Mentre stringo la tua mano
per non lasciarti più
………………..
Chissà dove sei

Tell me where you are
I come home and I can't find you anymore
Your socks over the bed
Still on the TV

I do not forget
Your promises in the balance
and Sundays
Always spending only where you decide
Maybe my heart is too small
To leave you your freedom
the world falls
when are you leaving

A thousand kisses and then
Suddenly the void between us
I don't know why I'm hanging here
Your singing deceived me
and like Ulysses I will save myself
But then I'll fall back
in your web again

You're gone now
unattainable
but it's sure I'll find you to tell you that
that I'm not giving up and I just want you
you can bet
I wish I could still feel the chills
As I hold your hand
not to leave you anymore
……………… ..
Who knows where you are

Lyrics:

Well, I thought I was the strong one
A pillar in the sand
You have always been so fragile
I’ve tried to understand
But it seems I’m just better
At hiding my pain
And it’s welled up inside me again

I thought I was supposed to fix you
Turns out I’m broken too
When all of these feelings burst through
Turns out I’m as broken as you

You say I just ignore you
You say I’m never there
I wish that I was different
I really do, I swear
But these songs in my head
Give me comfort, you see
Without them I wouldn’t be me

I thought I was supposed to fix you
Turns out I’m broken too
When all of these feelings burst through
Turns out I’m as broken as you
