Hook


I know who I am
I know who I am
I know who I am
I am Yours I am Yours x2


And You are mine
Jesus You are mine
You are mine
Jesus You are mine


Verse 1


I was running and You found me,
I was blinded and You gave me sight.
You put a song of praise in me.
I was broken and You healed me
I was dying and You gave me life
Lord You are my identity


Pre-Chorus


I know x2


Repeat HOOK

Bridge 1


I am forgiven, I am Your friend.

That I am loved, I know who I am!


Bridge 2


I am alive (I am alive)
I am set free (I am set free)
I belong to You, You belong to me!

Meaning & Inspiration

I Know Who I Am is a declaration of identity in Christ. The hook repeats "I know who I am" and "I am Yours," answered by "You are mine," while the verse recalls being found when running, given sight when blind, healed when broken and given life when dying, and calls the Lord the singer's identity. The bridge lists what the believer is: forgiven, a friend, accepted, secure, confident, loved, alive, set free and belonging.

These statements echo John 15:15 on friends of Christ, Romans 8:1 and 8:15-17 on no condemnation and being children, Ephesians 1:6 on acceptance, and 2 Corinthians 5:17 on a new creation. The lines on sight and life recall John 9:25 and Ephesians 2:4-5. With simple, repeated declarations and a call to repeat the hook until the end, the song is built for a congregation to speak and sing its identity together.
