Who am I?

Reflection on turning 34:

"Who am I"

Verse 1:
"Who am I? That the Lord above 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 of my ever wandering heart.

Refrain:
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've told me who I am...I AM YOURS.

Verse 2:
Who am I? That the eyes that see my sin would look at 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.

Refrain:
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 but 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."
