| Neil Diamond – I Am... I Said Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I just created this account and was looking for someone to mention that "I AM" is how God refers to himself. Finally came across IknowIknow and Tomalak at the end! Thank you! I don't disagree with the other messages that he was alone, crying out, etc. But his choice of those two words is not just interesting, but I think intentional. God tells Moses that "I AM" is his name when he asks for his name to give to Pharoah. Neil is (purportedly) Jewish. It's in the Old Testament of the Bible and the Torah that God refers to himself by those words and very intentionally and prominently. Neil would know that. Also, I think Neil might be a "closet Christian", or perhaps open to the concept of just a "Higher Power". His songs indicate a sense of Christianity. And that's a good thing (not anti-Jewish here, please)! Just a strong believer in Jesus and I'm listening to Neil sing a Christmas song - Away In a Manger - as I write this. | |
