"Who Am I?"
Oct 16, 2023 Season 5 Episode 42
Kris Emerson

The question of the episode is you asking yourself: "Who Am I?" - I encourage you to spend a little time on that this week. Find an answer that sits in the center of everything else about you and drives it all. 

Below I have included the lyrics for "To Not Worship You" by Mercy Me.  As you listen to them today or explore below, please note the progression. It starts with self doubt and confusion and fear. Then God is introduced as the power and the answer. In the middle of the song there are questions that show some self doubt, but at least attention is turned to God. And the chorus radiates God's glory once again. And then at the end, I find my song, hope and strength, in who He is! It looks like this:

Me without God
God
Me because of God
God
me with God
God

I like that layout. Everything finds its next step with God. 

Song Lyrics:

I'm losing sight of all that matters
Blinded by questions I can't answer
I'm paralyzed by what I don't know
That holds me hostage and won't let go

Breathe out, breathe in
Raise my hands and remember

You're the one, You're the one
Who makes mountains move
Stars will not shine
Unless You tell them to, tell them to
Conquered the grave
To make all things new
So, who am I, who am I
To not worship You

Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Who am I, who am I
To not worship You

Remind me who I am because of You
Tell me I'm not the man I once knew
'Cause I still feel so undeserving
What could You see in someone like me?

Breathe out, breathe in
Raise my hands and surrender

You're the one, You're the one
Who makes mountains move
Stars will not shine
Unless You tell them to, tell them to
Conquered the grave
To make all things new
So, who am I, who am I
To not worship You

Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Who am I, who am I
To not worship You

Holy, holy, You are God Almighty
Who was and is and will always be
Holy, holy, You are God Almighty
You are my song, You are my hope, my strength
Holy, holy, You are God Almighty
Who was and is and will always be
Holy, holy, You are God Almighty
You are my song, You are my hope, my strength
Let everything that breathes sing

You're the one, You're the one
Who makes mountains move
Stars will not shine
Unless You tell them to, tell them to
Conquered the grave
To make all things new
So who am I, who am I

To not worship the one
Who makes mountains move
Stars will not shine
Unless You tell them to, tell them to, oh
Conquered the grave
To make all things new
So, who am I, who am I
To not worship You

Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Who am I, who am I
To not worship You
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Who am I, who am I
To not worship You
