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
