About “Great I Am - Live”
Jared Anderson, a worship leader at New Life Church in Colorado Springs and founding member of Desperation Band, built the song on the scene in Exodus 3 where God answers Moses from the burning bush with the name 'I AM.' The Worship Initiative's devotional on the song draws out its core idea: people need descriptions to complete their 'I am,' while God alone simply is. This live recording was captured at New Life Church in October 2010 and released in April 2011 as the lead single from the church's live album You Hold It All.
