I'm a big fan of Casting Crowns. In a former post, I shared the chord progressions with you, to the song Voice of Truth. Now I'd like to share the chords to Who Am I that was written in 2003 by Mark Hall. The song is played in the key of Bb, moderately slow in 2.
Verse 1
C G Am
Who am I? That the Lord of all the earth,
G F G F
Would care to know my name, would care to feel my hurt,
C G Am
Who am I? That the Bright and Morning Star,
G F G F
Would choose to light the way, For my ever wandering heart,
Am G F G
Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done,
Am G F G
Not because of what I've done, but because of who You are,
Chorus
C G Am G F
I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow,
G F C
A wave tossed in the ocean (ocean), a vapor in the wind,
G Am G F
Still You hear me when I'm calling, Lord, You catch me when I'm falling,
G F
And You've told me who I am..
C
I am Yours.
Verse 2
C G Am
Who am I? That the eyes that see my sin,
G F G F
Would look on me with love, and watch me rise again,
C G Am
Who am I? That the voice that calmed the sea,
G F G F
Would call out through the rain, and calm the storm in me,
Am G F G
Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done,
Am G F G
Not because of what I've done, but because of who You are,
