WHO AM I -- by Casting Crows

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

i forget that so often... i am God's beloved... wow... so simple, yet so powerful....

----
so much to think about... i swear the spiritual warfare is raging in me now... i can feel it... so powerful... both sides... yet i know God will OVERCOME completely... it's so hard... how is it in one 24 hr time period... i can feel ecstatic at what God is doing in those around me, challenged with the wise words of my brothers and sisters in Christ, passionate at the callings God has placed on my heart, deeply long for true fellowship to spread like wildfire at CCF, really happy that God is breaking down and remolding old friends to be more Christ-like, humbled at my faults and weaknesses, in awe of God and his utter majesty, --- and here comes... also the really DEEP pain that continually breaks my heart, the tears that don't fall...but they are heavy-laden... a bit overwhelmed, and some confusion as to what God is telling me....

Father I lift it to Your hands. Do with me as you will. I am yours for the taking.

----
may we all live purposeful lives... lives that focus on things that are eternal.
