Some of us on staff were asked to write short devotionals for our favorite worship songs to prepare for this past week's message. Publishing them did not quite work out as planned, so I thought we would post a couple here: This one is written by Carol O'Connell.
Who Am I? Whenever I sing this song, it causes me to pause and reflect on just that, Who Am I? While watching the inauguration of our President Barack Obama, I was awestruck by the number of people crammed together; millions of Americans were hoping to see and hear from our newest leader.
Seeing this vast number of people made me wonder just who am I amidst all those in the universe? I am just a speck. And yet, the Lord of all the earth knows my name, and cares to feel my hurt. Those days when I feel down and alone, this song comes to my mind and helps me remember that I am not alone, the Lord knows who I am, looks on me with love, and He is the one that calms my soul; not because I have done anything to deserve His love, just because I am His.
Who Am I? 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 wondering 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.
Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean, a vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling, Lord you catch me when I'm falling, and you 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 calm 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.
Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord you catch me when I'm falling,
And you told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cuz I am yours.
I am yours.
