Because of Whose I Am

Lyrics

I'll never understand Why He saw a piece of clay And said, "I want it, I'll use it" The greatest mystery Is somehow in spite of me He said, "I'm gonna love you" He took me in His arms Said, "This child belongs to me" He placed me in His Kingdom Now I live like royalty It's not because of what I am Not because of what I've done But because of Whose I am My Father is Lord of everything From here beyond forever He's given me His name Said if I'll ask anything He'd gladly give it He put a robe upon my back He put a ring upon my hand Said the riches of heaven were all mine It's not because of what I am Not because of what I've done But because He first loved me His grace has set me free His blood is flowing through my veins I'm adopted by the King It's because of Whose I am I'll never understand While I was yet a slave He said He'd buy me, He'd save me He clothed Himself in flesh Became the final sacrifice So I could know redemption He took the stripes upon His back So that I could walk in health He broke the chains of death Now I can live forevermore It's not because of what I am Not because of what I've done It's because of Whose I am He put a robe upon my back He put a ring upon my hand Said the riches of heaven were all mine It's not because of what I am Not because of what I've done But because He first loved me His grace has set me free His blood is flowing through my veins I'm adopted by the King It's because of Whose I am It's not because of what I am Not because of what I've done But because He first loved me His grace has set me free His blood is flowing through my veins I'm adopted by the King It's because of Whose I am It's not because of what I am It's not because of what I've done It's because of Whose I am
