who am I?
A little while ago Justin and I got our umbrella out of the closet, dusted it off, and went for a walk on a long-awaited rainy day. What fun to hear the rain splashing down all around us and to breathe in its clean scent. We watched as the sky changed so many brilliant colors while we wandered around the streets of Tujunga. It was amazing!
I blinked back joyfilled tears as I contemplated the God of all creation who had made this day for our enjoyment. Everywhere we turned, the beauty surrounding us spoke of His handiwork. It was with awe that I contemplated this same God who has saved me and called me His own.
I love the lyrics of the Casting Crowns song entitled Who Am I? It has been stuck in my head as I have continued to think about how the King of the Universe could possibly “care to know my name.” Although my life is a quickly vanishing vapor, it is my prayer that I will use it to worship the One who deserves all praise and honor.
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’re
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’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
