Who am I that the highest King
Would welcome me
I was lost but He brought me in
Oh His love for me
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
Free at last He has ransomed me
His grace runs deep
While I was a slave to sin
Jesus died for me
Yes He died for me
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
I am chosen, not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me, not against me
I am who You say I am
I am chosen, not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me, not against me
I am who You say I am
I am who You say I am
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
"Who You Say I Am (Live Acoustic)" by Hillsong Worship is a powerful and uplifting song that speaks to the identity and freedom we have in Christ. This song is part of the album "There Is More" released by Hillsong Worship in 2018. It has become a popular worship anthem in churches around the world.
The lyrics of the song remind us of the incredible truth that we are chosen and loved by God. It begins with the reflection, "Who am I that the highest King would welcome me?" This line acknowledges our unworthiness and the overwhelming grace of God that welcomes us into His presence. It echoes the words of Ephesians 2:4-5, which says, "But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved."
The song goes on to declare, "I'm a child of God, yes I am." This line is a powerful affirmation of our identity as children of God. It reminds us of the truth found in John 1:12, which says, "But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God."
The chorus of the song proclaims, "Who the Son sets free, oh is free indeed." This line is a direct reference to John 8:36, where Jesus says, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." It emphasizes the freedom we have in Christ, the freedom from sin and the bondage of the world.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of gratitude and awe for the love and sacrifice of Jesus. The lyrics say, "While I was a slave to sin, Jesus died for me." This echoes the words of Romans 5:8, which says, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
The bridge of the song further emphasizes our identity in Christ. It declares, "I am chosen, not forsaken. I am who You say I am." This echoes the words of 1 Peter 2:9, which says, "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession." It reminds us that we are chosen by God, not abandoned or forgotten.
The overall message of the song is one of celebration and declaration of our identity in Christ. It reminds us that we are loved, chosen, and set free by the Son of God. It encourages us to embrace our true identity as children of God and to live in the freedom that Christ has provided.
"Who You Say I Am (Live Acoustic)" is a beautiful expression of worship and a reminder of the transformative power of God's love. It encourages believers to fully embrace their identity in Christ and to walk in the freedom and purpose that comes from being a child of God.
