Who Am I

The older I get the shorter life seems. I remember being a child when a week felt like a year and a year felt like a 100 years. Especially when I was 14 desperately wanting to be 16 so I could drive or date or whatever it was that made the days feel so long.

This song by Casting Crowns really puts our lifespan in perspective. The song compares our life to a wave that is here and crashes and is gone or a flower that blooms, but only for a season. Life is so short -- I get that now. I think having children also makes you realize how fast things change.

This song really speaks to my heart and I hope today that it will be an encouragement to you - a reminder that God cares about us - about our fears, our hopes and the storms that life brings.

Who Am I (Songwriters: Hall, John Mark; Casting Crowns)

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



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 our 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 what of 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 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



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, I am Yours



Whom shall I fear?

Whom shall I fear?

'Cause I am Yours, I am Yours
