Story behind the song
“There are a lot of songs today about who we are in Christ. There aren’t many songs that talk about who we are without Him. Before you can truly understand who you are in Christ, you have to understand who you’re not first, and to see what He’s made out of you, out of what He started with. I’m just a flower faded, just a vapor in the wind, and the only thing I am is who He made me.” – Mark Hall (Casting Crowns) Psalm 139/ Psalm 52/ Ephesians 2
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 an 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
A 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
I am yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am yours
I am yours
