Who Am I
Plus One Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That You know me by name
That You call me friend
Invite me in to be with You
I don't know why
You love me this way?
'Cause I'm nothing at all
Even before time began
For me You had a plan
You were shaping my life
In Your hands
Who am I without Your love?
I cannot live without Your touch
You hold my hand and walk me through
All I need is You
Who am I without Your love?
I cannot breathe without Your touch
You make me complete, I bow at Your feet
For me You came to die
Who am I?
You were there
Creating the world
Put the stars in the sky
God of heavenly light, what can I do?
Now You're here
With a love that's so real
And I give You my life as a sacrifice
To honor You
I've overwhelmed and overcome
By what You do and all You've done
That You count me as one
Of Your sons
Who am I without Your love?
I cannot live without Your touch
You hold my hand and walk me through
All I need is You
Who am I without Your love?
I cannot breathe without Your touch
You make me complete, I bow at Your feet
For me You came to die
Who am I?
Who am I?
Who am I without Your love?
I cannot live without Your touch
You hold my hand and walk me through
All I need is You
Who am I without Your love?
I cannot breathe without Your touch
You make me complete, I bow at Your feet
For me You came to die
Who who am I?
"Who Am I" is a heartfelt and introspective song by Christian pop group Plus One. The song speaks about the singer's profound appreciation and gratitude towards God for showing him love, inviting him to be with Him, and making him new. The singer is humbled by the fact that God shaped his life, had a plan for him even before time began, and counts him as one of His sons. The singer is overwhelmed by God's love and feels incomplete without it. He bows at God's feet, ready to sacrifice his life to honor Him.
The song speaks on the feeling of one's relationship with spirituality and how important that bond is. The lyrics acknowledge that the singer is nothing without God's love, and we see the singer's wonder in how God counts them as one of His children.
