Identity Christ-is by Evan Upton Lyrics
You
Who are you?
You're a child of God
Set free
Righteous
Redeemed
You're what Jesus calls you
No, that, that's a lie
I can't believe that
The world says that you are your shortcomings
Your mistakes
And the choices you make
How can you believe that you are loved
You matter
And you have a purpose
With all these people in the world?
Don't believe what they say
You won't amount to anything
You can't do it
They have it twisted
Wait a second, hold up, stop, are you serious?
Do you really believe that?
No, they have it twisted!
"You can't do it, you won't amount to anything."
Don't believe what "they," say
With all these people in the world, YOU HAVE A PURPOSE, YOU MATTER, and YOU ARE LOVED!
How can you believe you are your shortcomings, your mistakes, and the choices you make; what the world says you are?
I CAN'T believe that!
No, THAT'S a lie!
You are what Jesus calls you, SET FREE, RIGHTEOUS, REDEEMED!
YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD; THAT'S who you are!
And even though life may not be perfect
Your parents could be divorced
You're bullied or even the bully
And seems like things couldn't get any worse
Your whole life at times is crashing around you
And nothing you're doing works
When you start to stare down these giants
You question your own worth
Take courage
And know these things DO NOT
I repeat, DO NOT define you!
Because your strength and your identity
Comes from the God who is in front
Beside
AND behind you
Satan does all he can to keep you down
And he tries to
Only because he knows good and well
That when you find your self-worth
When you find your purpose
He could never EVER bind you
God is saying to you, yes you, right now
"I love you, and I want you
You are always worth it to me
I only allow these problems to draw you closer to me."
God is saying, listen
He's saying to you, yes you
The mess you are
Whoever you are
Whatever you're going through
He's saying to you right now
"I LOVE YOU!
I WANT YOU!
YOU WILL ALWAYS AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WORTH IT TO ME
Who are you?
You are the person I have called you to be."
Who are you?
You're a child of God
Set free
Righteous
Redeemed
You're what Jesus calls you
No, that, that's a lie
I can't believe that
The world says that you are your shortcomings
Your mistakes
And the choices you make
How can you believe that you are loved
You matter
And you have a purpose
With all these people in the world?
Don't believe what they say
You won't amount to anything
You can't do it
They have it twisted
Wait a second, hold up, stop, are you serious?
Do you really believe that?
No, they have it twisted!
"You can't do it, you won't amount to anything."
Don't believe what "they," say
With all these people in the world, YOU HAVE A PURPOSE, YOU MATTER, and YOU ARE LOVED!
How can you believe you are your shortcomings, your mistakes, and the choices you make; what the world says you are?
