Who I Am
Ben Fuller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stand in front the mirror
But I don't like who's looking back at me
Wish I could see things clearer, oh
Like who I'm supposed to be
In every trial, lift me higher
Through the fire, hold me tighter
Remind me again, I was made for more
Who I am in the eyes of the Father
Who I am His love set free
Who I was I left at the alter
I am Yours Lord, I believe

It's who I am
I'm a child of the most-high God and the most-high God's for me
It's who I am
I'm a child of the most-high God and the most-high God's for me

Everything has been changing
You haven't left a stone unturned
Anything I've been facing, oh
I'll keep standing on Your word
In the water, take me under
Fill my lungs to, to speak Your wonder
You brought me of the darkness, I was made for more

Who I am in the eyes of the Father
Who I am His love set free
Who I was I left at the alter
I am Yours, Lord, I believe

It's who I am
I'm a child of the most-high God and the most-high God's for me
It's who I am
I'm a child of the most-high God and the most-high God's for me

You gave up everything
For me to have everything
For all of eternity
A song in my lungs to sing

You gave up everything
For me to have everything
For all of eternity
A song in my lungs to sing

I'm a child of the most-high God and the most-high God's for me
I'm a child of the most-high God and the most-high God's for me

It's who I am in the eyes of the Father
Who I am His love set free
Who I was I left at the alter
I am Yours Lord, I believe

It's who I am
I'm a child of the most-high God and the most-high God's for me
It's who I am
I'm a child of the most-high God and the most-high God's for me





I'm a child of the most-high God and the most-high God's for me
I'm a child of the most-high God and the most-high God's for me
