 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

When I was little, my parents divorced and we moved with my mother to the other side of the world. My parents always stayed on good terms, and we could call and write, so it wasn't like he had died or anything - but suddenly our father was just... gone from our everyday world. Over the decades, we have been able to catch up every couple of years or so, but parting each time always feels like losing him all over again, and no matter how old I get, that little girl inside me rises to the surface, re-living the confusion, hurt and loss. 

A few years ago, my father showed me a poem that little girl had written and sent to him during those first few years apart:
"I miss you like the pages of a book
I miss you like the shadow of a lion
I miss you like a bird up a flyin'
But when I think of you the sun shines through my tears"


SONG LYRICS:

Like the pages of a book you told me stories
Like the shadow of a lion you made me feel strong by your side
Like a bird up a flyin' in the sky you gave me fearlessness of heights
 
I miss you (I wish, wish you were here)
I miss you (I wish we were together again )
I miss you (Just wish you’d never gone) 
But when I think of you the sun shines through 

Like a step upon the footpath, you showed me how to get by - one foot in front of the other
Like a hug from someone special you gave me comfort when I was frightened
And like nothing else in this world you gave me endless, boundless love

I miss you (I wish, wish  you were here)
I miss you (I wish we were together again )
I miss you (Just wish you’d never gone) 
But when I think of you the sun shines through

I Miss You (a cappella)
