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
God chose me?! Why, I am so unworthy, not only would He choose to save me but to call me friend too? I am so unfaithful, so wavering, yet He is patient and faithful and good.

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because what I've done
But because of who You are
It's nothing I can do, nothing I can take credit for, it's all because of You, and what You have done. I am because You were, are and will be.
I am a flower quickly fading

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
I am so small, so useless, yet You still hear me, You still run to me, You still LOVE me, despite the many times I have messed up and dragged you through the mud. You are still faithful.
And You've told me who I am
I am so small, so useless, yet You still hear me, You still run to me, You still LOVE me, despite the many times I have messed up and dragged you through the mud. You are still faithful.
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours
I am Yours
I am Yours, I am defined by You and You alone, no one else defines me. I am Your daughter, a Princess of the King, I can call on Your name for help and strength and You give it freely. I am Yours, forever.
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 the calmed the sea
would call out through the rain
and calm the storm in me
You see my sin and still You love me?! You pick me up when I am beaten down by the trails and pains and burdens of this world. You, the same Jesus that calmed the sea, the same Jesus that rose from the dead after three day, YOU call me and in YOU I find rest and calm in the storm.
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because what I've done
But because of who You are
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours
I am Yours
You have taken a young broken girl and made her whole. You have placed a calling on her life that she is not worthy of, You have restored her to who You created her to be. You have shown through her complete brokenness. You have done a good work in her. You have made her feet beautiful for she carries Your gospel, even though the world would look upon those same feet with disgust. You have made her hands useful and gentle for they care for You children, the same hands the world stares at harshly. You have made her beautiful and lifted her up and used her to bring glory to Your name. She is so grateful and so humbled by Your mercy and Your grace and Your provision and most of all YOUR LOVE
Thank You Jesus, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You...

so beautiful CM, and so true! that actually almost brought me to tears (i said out LOUD "I am NOT gonna cry right now!!" LOL).
i LOVE that song by the way. it reminds me, and your heartfelt words remind me, that even on my "best" days (which are few and far between, lol), i'm still not good enough. it is only because of Jesus that i can do anything - He is my strength. you have reminded me how small i am, how very unfaithful i am to a God who is ALWAYS so faithful to me, how fragile i am, unable to stand on my own, unworthy to even call Him "My Father". and despite all of that, He looks upon us with love. and HE wants us, though He doesn't need us. i'll never understand why, because He certainly can do all He wants to do without the likes of us!
what else could there be? :-) it doesn't get any better than that.
Hello, CaseyMay! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I ♥ this song! It's one of my favorites. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better through your posts. Have a great day!

I don't even feel like I can say anything because it's not written to me or to the general audience of everyone, but to Jesus. It is really awesome though.
That is by far one of the most beautiful songs <3
That part when you said...
God chose me?! Why, I am so unworthy, not only would He choose to save me but to call me friend too? I am so unfaithful, so wavering, yet He is patient and faithful and good.
...really got me. It made me think about how many earthly friendships would deteriorate if we were unfaithful, wavering, etc. Most (if not all) people would choose to end a friendship if we were to act that way... but not God. He is soooo much better than us that He can always forgive, always understand, always open His arms to us. No matter how bad of a "friend" we are to Him. That's grace in action. That's Jesus on our behalf. Our God is SO a loving God.
And your last paragraph. Well sometimes words are worth a thousand words.
I love you. <3
