Who am I

Casting Crowns - Who Am I Lyrics

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 what of 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.

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,
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.

When I first heard this song I picked it up because of it's clever lyrics, "not because of who I am, but because of what You've done, not because of what I've done but because fo who You are." But then, the more i sang the song, the more i actually listened to it, the more it started to affect me.

Then after a while, I realized the song also spoke to my subconcious, the constant question in my life, in everyone's life. Who am I? Hmm, well, I guess there's an answer =D. Anyway the song is just amazing (yes this is said with a canadian accent) and I hope people will understand it as well as I seem to have.
