Who Am I by Casting Crowns with Lyrics and Chords

By Ptr. Vince, on August 17th, 2009

I was still in seminary (Phil. Baptist Theological Seminary) when I first heard of this song, it was sang by one of my classmates. The song focuses on a big question “Who Am I?”. Many of us does not really know who we are in the eyes of God. He loves us despite the fact that we are like flowers who are fading. Well, I won’t be talking so much about the song but it is a very good meditative song.

I intentionally chose the video below despite the fact that there are lots of videos with better sound in You Tube. This is because they did it in a creative presentation which you can also do in your Churches. May the video, lyrics and the chords be useful to you and your ministries.

Who Am I

By: Casting Crowns

Intro: G C Em D (x2)

G            D/F#            Em7
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
D/F#             C           D               C
Would care to know my name, would care to feel my hurt
G            D/F#               Em7
Who am I, that the bright and morning star
D/F#               C           D                C
Would choose to light the way, for my ever wandering heart
C             D          Em7                 D/F#
Not because of who I am, but because of what You�ve done
Em7                D/F#        C               D
Not because of what I�ve done, but because of who You are

Chorus:
G       D/F#          Em7           D                C
I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow
D                  C           D/F#    G
A wave tossed in the ocean, vapor in the wind
G         D/F#             Em7
Still You hear me when I�m calling
D                 C
Lord, You catch me when I�m falling
D             C        G (Em in chorus 2&3)
And You�ve told me who I am, I am yours…

G C Em D (x2)

G            D/F#            Em7
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
D/F#             C         D              C
Would look on me with love, and watch me rise again
G            D/F#                Em7
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
D/F#                 C         D                C
Would call out through the rain, and calm the storm in me
C             D          Em7                 D/F#
Not because of who I am, but because of what You�ve done
Em7                D/F#        C               D
Not because of what I�ve done, but because of who You are
