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

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

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
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am yours
I am yours

    General Comment:This is one of the most important songs in my life. I was saved a long time ago, nearly ten years now, but around last year I was having thoughts of doubt as far as God goes. I even began to consider becoming Agnostic, but then I heard this song and for some reason, it just cleared any doubts I had and I was 110% more committed to God. Since then, I have had no doubts and I am hoping I won't again.

    General Comment:I beautiful song... my dad and I were driving down the highway one night, and we had the CD on. As the chorus began, fireworks began exploding on the horizon. It's truly amazing to think how much God loves us, and how even though our lives are showrt, we are still so important to God, each and every one of us.
