who am i?

Who am I?
Am I the girl who I used to be,
Why do I feel so strangely empty,
Have I really changed that much,
Or am I simply going out of touch?

Who am I?
All my thoughts leave me so confused,
What is false and what is true?
Why is it I find no peace,
No rest and no relief in sleep...

Who am I?
The bonds of earth are choking me,
release me now, but where's the key?
I just want to fly away,
Won't have to face another day...

this was my mood a couple of days ago...it was as if i was stuck, stuck in a negative mindset...no matter how hard i tried to be cheerful- i fell back down in a short space of time...my head hurt from thinking too much about why i was feeling this way, was it right to feel this way, how can i stop feeling this way... but God was indeed gracious to me. In the midst of my moodiness...it was this song on [fm103.2] that got through to me:

[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,

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 (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.

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,

Chorus

I am Yours,
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am Yours,
I am Yours.

Indeed, it was such a big comfort and encouragement to be reminded that God had chosen ME before the creation of the world. To know that He loved me and thought of me while there was nothing...to know that I am one of His chosen, one of his precious daughters whom only Christ's blood was sufficient to pay for my sin...if ever i feel lonely or unimportant, this song points out poignantly that someone does care...that He cares...

who am I? I am His =)
