GREAT I AM feat. Ashleigh Green | Live In Sydney
Luke Munns
‘Great I Am’ feat. Ashleigh Green is the fourth installment from our Live In Sydney recordings. Written by Ashleigh Green, Chloe Somerfield, Joel Wiseman & Rachel Aracan, Great I Am is a powerful song that resonated deeply with us while Luke was producing their ‘Room For You’ EP at DaySpring Church in Sydney, Australia.
“At the time of recording this song, the lyrics really resonated with me - it was a real kick to the devil, who seems to always relentlessly attack worship music and worship leaders across the globe.
I’d just come back home from the Philippines and as it turns out, someone over there had tried to put a hex on me, and I couldn’t think straight or function properly. Thankfully after some prayer, I was back to full capacity. This song is really a stake in the ground for me in this moment, of knowing and standing firm in my full authority in Christ.
The bridge of the song declares: ‘Darkness cowers, demons tremble, fear stands down, mountains bow in the presence of the Great I Am.’ - which is the truth I so desperately needed to hear.”
A MASSIVE thank you to Joel Wiseman and the team at DaySpring for partnering with us, for your pursuit of His presence, and for your ongoing love and support.

VERSE 1
From the beginning
You were always moving
Light out of chaos
You spoke life into being
You sculpted the earth
With the hands that formed us
Breath out of dust
Now your life within us
CHORUS
You hold the universe
Within your hand
Great I Am
The Name above all names
Jesus, You’re the Great I Am
VERSE 2
Breath of the Spirit
Wrapped within the Saviour
Revealing the Father
As you healed the broken
BRIDGE
Eyes are opened
Hearts are healed
Pain retreats
Sickness leaves
In the presence of the Great I Am
Dry bones rising
Prophesying
Freedom’s calling
Chains will fall
In the presence of the Great I Am
Darkness cowers
Demons tremble
Fear stands down
Mountains bow
In the presence of the Great I Am
Signs and wonders
Fire falling
Heaven roaring
Holy holy
The presence of the Great I Am
