Who You Say I Am

That the highest King

Would welcome me�I was lost

But He brought me in�Oh His love for me�Oh His love for me

Who the Son sets free�Oh is free indeed�I’m a child of God

Yes I am

Free at last

He has ransomed me�His grace runs deep�While I was a slave to sin

Jesus died for me�Yes He died for me

Who the Son sets free�Oh is free indeed�I’m a child of God, Yes I am�In my Father’s house�There’s a place for me�I’m a child of God, Yes I am

I am chosen, not forsaken�I am who You say I am�You are for me, not against me�I am who You say I am

I am chosen, not forsaken�I am who You say I am�You are for me, not against me�I am who You say I am�I am who You say I am

Who the Son sets free�Oh is free indeed�I’m a child of God, Yes I am�In my Father’s house�There’s a place for me�I’m a child of God, Yes I am

In my Father’s house�There’s a place for me�I’m a child of God

Yes I am

I am chosen, not forsaken�I am who You say I am�You are for me, not against me�I am who You say I am�I am who You say I am

(2x)

I am chosen, not forsaken�I am who You say I am�You are for me, not against me�I am who You say I am�Oh I am who You say I am�Yes, I am who you say I am

Who the Son sets free�Oh is free indeed�I’m a child of God, Yes I am�In my Father’s house�There’s a place for me�I’m a child of God, Yes I am
