Because of Who You Are

Not because of what you've done
Or for the sake of wishes granted
But because of who You are
I worship You: Father, Spirit, Son

The way before me has not
Always been smooth and level and plain
But because of who you are
You, my Shepher, made my steps secure

At times the mirror is still darkened
The veil still drawn, your purposes obscured
But because of who You are
You give counsel, your right hand guides me

I die daily, crucified with Your Son
The pangs and pains seem as if they might overtake me
But because of who You are
You come with grace, healing in your wings

It is my calling, to be broken and wounded
For the sake of your great name, and to reflect Your glory
But because of who you are
You only give or take what is good

Because of who you are
Savior, Redeemer, Friend
Healer, Shepherd, Counselor
Because of this and more
I do worship, surrender, and obey.

And you say
Because of who I Am
Not because of who you are or are not
Or what you have done or failed to do
I chose you, my daughter...my bride
Today and Tomorrow, before and into eternity
Because of who I Am
