I'm Yours

I am one of those people who finds a great song and listens to it over and over. Right now, I am listening to "Who Am I", by Casting Crowns.

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 wondering 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,

A vapor in the wind.

Still you hear me when I'm calling,

Lord you catch me when I'm falling,

And you 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 calm the sea,

Would call out through the rain,

And calm the storm in me.

Not because of who I am.

But because what of youve 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,

A vapor in the wind.

Still you hear me when I'm calling,

Lord you catch me when I'm falling,

And you 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.

Chorus:

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,

You told me who I am.

I am yours.

I am yours.

Whom shall I fear?

Whom shall I fear?

'Cuz I am yours.

I am yours.

In a meeting last week, Mr. O'Neil asked us what our biggest fear about the trip was. I replied, "fitting in." Others said leaving home, being away from family, etc. I realize now that all of us are afraid, but if we put that fear before God, then that will greatly take away from our trip. The songs says "Whom shall I fear? I am yours." I think we all need to live by that, and put our fears behind us, being confident in what we know-- that God is with us.

Mark 10:29-31

Jesus said, "Mark my words, no one who sacrifices house, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, land—whatever—because of me and the Message will lose out. They'll get it all back, but multiplied many times in homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land—but also in troubles. And then the bonus of eternal life! This is once again the Great Reversal: Many who are first will end up last, and the last first."

Please ask God to pray that we will let go of our fears, trusting Him the whole way.
