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 wandering 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
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've 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 calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours
About me

How Can I Keep From Singing - Chris Tomlin
"How can I keep from singing Your praise??"..."I know I am loved by the king"...
I couldn't continue singing this song in church on Sun. Tears choked my voice. The resounding words "I know I am loved by the King" kept playing in my heart and my mind. Father, thank You for sending Your comfort and encouragement to me.
I went to a specialist to check my hoarse throat on Fri and seems like an operation may be necessary to remove a cyst from my throat. The doctors say I still cant sing for church. The news was shocking to me. But Im not afraid of the operation. Im just saddened by the fact that I can't sing with all my strength to the Lord. You know, there'll be this fear like "Am I singing too much?? I better not sing because my voice may get worse". My own human mind was thinking that some people use their voice to speak vulgarities, lie, quarrel, hurt others. I want to use my voice to encourage, worship the Lord, bring joy to people, tell everyone of a greater importance in life... but something must stand in the way. I broke down in the train and was so embarrassed that people may be looking at me! But the still, small voice of God spoke to me that it is alright to be weak because in my weakness, God will show Himself strong. How wonderful to be able to lean on God for support and strength!
"The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1
I'll write more if I can't talk more. I'll worship You with my guitar if I can't sing more. I will bless others with deeds of love if I can't love them with my voice. I'll be a better listener, if I can't be a better storyteller.
