hymn 35 lyrics

i am the day
i am the dawn
i am the darkness coming on.
i am once
i am twice
i am the whole
i'm just a slice.
some call me gone
some call me here
nothing wrong
nothing near.
i am right now
i am back then
i will return
don't ask me when.
i am the disappointed kiss
i am the unexpected harvest.
i am the old kentucky home
i am the son who runs the farthest.
i have done wrong
i will do wrong
there's nothing wrong with doing wrong.
i am faith
i am belief
except for when i'm not.
i am the teeth of champions
i am the rust of water rot.
and i am sleep
i am breathing
i'm the missing of the passing season.
i am the brush
i am the strokes
i'm sickness come to the best of folks.
i am renewed
i am just made
i am unchanging.
i'm a pasture fenced about the edge
i am the coat of thunder raging.
and by my shoes and by my feet and by my soul and wonder
i am the tracks we laid above
i am the tunnel running under.
