A song from now and a song from then...

Who Am I

by Casting Crowns
album: Casting Crowns (2003)


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

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

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

Whom shall i fear
Whom shall i fear
'Cause i am Yours
i am Yours

Psalm 139

 1O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

 2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

 3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

 4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

 5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

 6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

 7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

 8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

 9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

 10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

 11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

 12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

 13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

 14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

 15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

 16Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

 17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

 18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

 19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

 20For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

 21Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

 22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

 23Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

 24And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

  1. Loree! You will not BELIEVE this! I have been considering plugging in that "who am I" thing on the blog page, but really don't have my own words to answer that question. Even drafted a post about it - who AM I? Then I found these very words from CC and thught, "Well,there ya go, that really says it ALL." How great is our God?!!!

  3. to "p" -- wow! HE IS truly amazing in all things. I love when he brings small-world things to pass, when he puts like-minds together and makes us feel warm and smile-y! What a blessing to have found a friend in you.
