Hillsong Worship Who You Say I am - A Child Of God Lyrics

Who am I that the highest King
Would welcome me
I was lost but He brought me in
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

[Bridge]
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
I'm a child of God
Yes I am

"Who You Say I Am" was an incredible privilege to be a part of. I wrote the song with Reuben Morgan who is a great friend, and we have a great history of writing songs together. Reuben was back in Sydney and we spent time together writing and being together and talking about what was on our hearts that we wanted to write songs about that was important to us individually and for the church. A couple of the things we discussed was the fact that there is such a prevalence of people struggling with anxiety and stress. One of the top challenges that young people face is anxiety, over their careers or relationships, or specific issues. We wanted to write a song that would speak to that, which is “Be Still.” Through that process, we wrote "Who You Say I Am" because we realized that it is so important to understand how God sees us, and what He says about us. It’s so important to go to the Scriptures and read who God says we are. The way we show God is determined by the way we know God.

The theme, "Who You Say I Am", is from John 8, which is, you will know, the truth and the truth will set you free. Jesus says, 'who the Son sets free, is free indeed.’ It’s a real declaration of identity. When I introduced this song into our church, I read John 8, the Scripture this song is based on. It talks about how a slave has no place in the family. But, once we’ve been brought into the family, then we have this identity as part of God’s family and identity of freedom. Our identity resides in knowing ourselves in Christ and living within the stability of knowing we are who God says we are.

    Wow, I first watched this song video at a TV channel even though I didn't know the artist but I fell in love with the song. I wanted to have the song and listen to but didn't know how to go about it until I saw a short video of the chorus again, I had to search Google and I saw that the song was actually tittled "who you say I am"by hill song. Then I went straight to the website to download. This song is so inspiring and heart touching, I love it and keep up the good work with the leading of the holy spirit. I love all your songs.
