I have been singing this song either outloud or in my head for a couple of weeks now.
The lyrics inspire and uplift me and speak to my heart - they make me want to preach! - Don't get scared - I'm not going to. ;-)
It's just that life is going by so fast! It seems like just last week my sons were little boys and I was their best girl! In reality that was WAY longer than a week ago - my little blonde-haired boy turned 30 yesterday! YIKES! My precious 4th grandchild, Emma Grace, was baptized today. Let's face it - I'm getting old and time is flying by!
These lyrics remind me of several wonderful FACTS:
- In the big scope of things - the REALLY big scope of things - I AM insignificant.
- Still - this insignificant tiny spec in this HUGE world (me) belongs to God - the maker of Heaven and Earth and He LOVES ME!
- Thank goodness - no - THANK GOD - His love for me does not hinge on what I have done or not done - or on who I am or am not - it's all because of who HE is and what HE has done!
Now that's just good - I don't care who you are!
I know I wasn't going to preach - but I just couldn't help myself.
Following are the lyrics to the song that is currently running through my brain - I hope they get stuck in your head too. You'll be blessed!
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 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, 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
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, I am Yours!
Charlotte, as I was wandering around on Mary and Laura's blogs, I happened upon yours! I am so impressed, both with the fact you actually HAVE a blog and also just hearing your heart. Your love for God seals the deal with me. I knew you were special from knowing Ryan and Laura, but I am inspired by your thoughts. I love that song too! So sorry we missed Emma's baptism.
