Who am I?
I wonder how many people have ever wondered this question. So often, we wonder why we're created, why we're here in this world. To some extent, this question also makes us think about our self-worth.
Who am I? I guess for quite a few years of my life, I was someone who felt rejected by people around me, I was someone who was always alone, I was someone with almost no sense of self-worth, I was someone that I felt the world didn't need.
Yet, after becoming a Christian and going through some of the toughest struggles in my life, God has given me a new sense of self-worth, that I'm someone who's not worthless at all. The song below is entitled "Who Am I", sung by Casting Crowns (a Christian band). When one of the worship leaders first sang this song in church, it was during one of the services, and he was singing it solo. That very first time I heard this song, it really moved me to tears, and up to now it still does.
For someone who has felt alone for so long, I know that sometimes I just want acceptance. This song, however, reminds me very strongly that even if no one around me cares the least about me, the all-powerful God who created the whole universe still cares deeply for me, even though I'm not even a speck compared to Him.
Who Am I:
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
BRIDGE
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 vapour 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
BRIDGE
CHORUS
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
Cause I am Yours, I am Yours
