Who Am I

I have wanted to share my heart about the journey God is taking me on for a while but haven't had the right words to describe how I am feeling. As I was driving home from Grace group tonight I heard this song and felt that it was speaking what my heart was/has been feeling. I have heard this song before but the lyrics spoke something new to me tonight. Maybe for the first time in a long time I heard that I am set apart....I am His. As I absorb the reality of who I am in Christ, I pray that I will be open to this new version of me, a version of me that views myself in Christ-tinted glasses. A person who is Blessed, Chosen, Adopted, Accepted, Redeemed, Forgiven & Loved (thanks Heather!).


Who Am I~By: Casting Crowns

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am Yours
I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

Carrie - love it! Thanks for sharing.

This song is getting added to my newest idea - which I will be emailing you grace gals about later. I'm so excited that I saw your post since I had been pondering my idea since church yesterday and now I am more excited!

Love you!
