I think one reading of these lyrics could support the perspective that the speaker, "I," is God - consider references to God as" the Great I Am" and this song's repetition of the phrase "I am." Each stanza provides an illustration of God's everlasting power over the man to whom he speaks, who could represent all of Man rather than just one man.
