Who Am I?

How does Christ see you?

Before salvation I was lost,
a battered ship set adrift
on the ocean of life;
my course was set
by forces out of my control.


I was a sinner; unforgiven...
...because I had not yet asked:
Set to embrace eternity
in the flaming arms of darkness;
sightless and alone.


But in the midst of my blindness
I found You; a shining light of hope;
and now I am so much more
I am not a nobody...
I am a somebody.


Who am I?
I am a child of God;
I am a branch of the vine;
I am a friend, a saint, an heir with Christ;
I am forgiven, justified, and redeemed;
I am wise, righteous, and sanctified;
I am chosen, blameless, and holy;
I am bold and confident through faith;
I am triumphant and a temple for the Holy Spirit;
I am accepted and will not be condemned.


Who am I?
I am all these things...
...and so much more.
