Yes I Am song and component scriptures

Appearing at the end of Norman Grubb's last full-length book, Yes, I Am, are the lyrics of a song proclaiming the amazing truth about who we are in Christ. It was set to the tune of the old campfire song, "If You're Happy and You Know It, Clap Your Hands" and sung at gatherings where Norman's Total Truth was being shared. As the introduction to the song says, "No great poetry, not set to great music, but great truth." Here we quote the Bible verse referenced below each citation.
