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

I'd rather have Jesus
I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I'd rather be His than have riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land
I'd rather be led to His nail-pierced hand
Than to be the king of a vast domain
or be held in sins dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today
I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause
I'd rather be faithful to his dear cause
I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame
I'd rather be true to His holy name
He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom
He's sweeter than honey from out of the comb
He's all that my hungering spirit needs
I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead
I'd rather have You than anything or anyone else. Saying it is easy, but when we are really put into a situation where we have to give up something so dear, I still choose to say I'd rather have You. So be it if the circumstances are as such. So be it if things do not happen according to my way. I would still love You and trust You. As long as You are here with me, I know Im safe and well-loved and deeply joyful. You give and You take away, but my heart will still bless Your name. Most importantly, i pray that they will come to know You.
Lord, do people find us mysterious? I guess no one can truly understand me unless they know You. My deep thoughts and secret conversations with You. My heart's cry for forgiveness when I see so much evil and gossiping. My desire that everyone, especially those close to me, will come to love You and to know You as I know You. The consequence of sin is death and eternal punishment. Everyone is doomed. But I pray You will take away their blindness and bring them into Your light. Thank You for being my almighty Father.
