JJ Heller's song "Who You Are" is a gentle, honest reflection on trusting God's character when life doesn't make sense. It tells the stories of a woman longing for a child and a father grieving the loss of his daughter, both crying out that they don't understand God's plans but still know who He is. The song acknowledges deep pain and confusion while affirming God's fatherly heart and His own experience of losing a child. It offers comfort by pointing to God's love and sovereignty, even in the midst of tragedy.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
All she wanted, was a baby to hold,
and she's still waiting, at forty-one years old,
her life feels like a tragedy,
and its driving her down to her knees
she says "I don't know, I don't know what your doing, but I know who you are."
It was after midnight, when he answered the phone,
the doctor said his daughter, was never coming home,
sometimes life doesn't make any sense, of war and pain
and accident, he's praying "I don't know, I don't know what your doing, but I know who you are."
You are the fathers heart, and a love that's wild,
and you know what it's like to lose, yeah you know what
it's like to lose, what it's like to lose a child,
Sometimes I don't know, I don't know what your doing,
I don't know, I don't know what your doing, but I know who you are.
