Quien Dices Que Soy

Wonder at being accepted drives the first lines of this Spanish worship song: "¿Quién soy yo para que el gran Rey me acepte así?" ("Who am I that the great King would accept me like this?"). The answer is that He "me encontró en mi perdición," found the singer in ruin, and the explanation is simply "su amor por mí."

The verses then lay out the change in three plain statements, "libre soy en Él" (I am free in Him), "soy hijo de Dios" (I am a child of God), and "en tu casa, Dios, sitio hay para mí" (in Your house, God, there is a place for me). Those lines resemble John 1:12 on becoming children of God and John 14:2 on a place prepared. The cause is named too: "aun siendo yo pecador, Él murió por mí," in line with Romans 5:8.

The chorus gives a list of identity words, "escogido, perdonado, vas conmigo, a mi lado," each followed by "yo soy quien dices que soy" (I am who You say I am). Ephesians 1:4's idea of being chosen stands behind the first of them. The song closes on the child-of-God line and the house with room for the singer.
