Music Notes

It came to me today as I was driving home, listening to one of my favourite songs. Sometimes we deal with difficult situations, have to carry a heavy load, or make a big decision. I find it can be so easy to be caught up in the “What if…?” syndrome -- looking for a way to combat the unknown, a way to get the goods on tomorrow without living it. But what if we did know what tomorrow would bring?? Would we seriously want to add it to today’s “to-do list”? Would we be able to handle the joys or sorrows that only God knows are in store for us? We are so fragile, so weak. Who are we anyway that we should even ask? Is it not enough for us to know that all our times are in His scarred hands, the hands so marred by His unending love for us?

        Who Am I?

"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 vapour 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

Whom shall I fear

Whom shall I fear

‘Cause I am Yours

I am Yours"
