To the nobodies, to the abandoned

Who couldn't see in the pain was a plan

Looking back now

Lord, I can say thank you

Now let me tell you, who I am

How do you do?

I am a sinner

Born into sin and shaped in iniquity

Now I believe, not who I was

But still not what I shall be

You found me and gave me your name and

Things I desired have changed but

Inside you'll see it's still broken pieces

Deep in me reaches for you

(Hello) how do you do?

I am a beggar (that means I'm)

Desperate for more

I hunger for your truth

See I am shattered (broken)

Though I may fall

Still you make all things new

You speak, the storm, it obeys and

Gone is the weight of mistakes and

Though I still feel you continue to heal

Look close and see (whoa)

I am so far from perfect

I thought life was worthless

Until you showed me who I am

Not here by mistake

No luck only grace

I'm on my way to who

I am (not who I was)

I am (forgiven and loved)

I am (healed by your blood)

I am (yes)

Thank God I am (still being changed)

I am (help me say)

I am

How do you do?

I am a winner (it wasn't easy)

I lost a few and life knocked me to my knees

And now I am standing (hallelujah)

Not by my power, but your life inside of me

(Just like you, I've gone through)

Even through seasons and changes (no tear)

No tear has ever been wasted

This under system it worked for my good

Look now and see

(I am not the old me but still)

I am (I am)

So far from perfect

I thought life was worthless

Until you showed me who I am

(Don't forget you're)

Not here by mistake (yes)

No luck, only grace

I'm on my way to who

I am (now called your son)

I am (forgiven for what I've done)

I am (forgiven for what I've done)

I am (yes)

Thank God I am (sealed by your grace)

I am (still here, help me say!)

I am

Here and I'm closer (closer)

My praise now is stronger (stronger)

Stood up to fear (fear)

By faith I'm still here (I'm still here)

Try to walk away (away)

God said not today (not today)

Cause eyes haven't seen

What God has for me

The hurt and the lies

Through the pain, through the nights

I cried and I cried

Yet still I survived

I am

So far from perfect

I thought life was worthless (yes God)

Until you showed me who I am (I'm)

Not here by mistake

No luck, only grace

I'm on my way to who

I am (and all of you)

I am (I'm in love with you)

I am (here to worship you)

I am (Jesus)

Thank God I am

(Ready to be closer)

I am (ready to go higher)

I am

I am

So far from perfect (so far)

I thought life was worthless (yes)

Until you showed me who I am

(But you showed me)

Not here by mistake (thank you)

No luck, only grace (thank you)

I'm on my way to who

I am (I'm not ashamed)

I am (look, I'm not the same)

I am (I'm letting go of the pain)

I am (yes God)

Thank God I am (more than what you see)

I am (not yet what I shall be)

I am

Oh, thank you

You didn't give up on me

While I was still in the process

Hallelujah God,

That you could see what I couldn't see

Thank you
