PSALM 144: "Who Am I?"
Who am I?
That You hear.
My crying in the night.
And how can I?
Deserve Your love
A selfish soul as I.
How can such love?
From Heav'n rain down
To one as low as I.
Who am I?
That You bring.
Unchanging love divine.
Who am I? That You see.
my life but breath and clay.
And how can I?
Deserve your grace.
Living for my own ways.
How can such grace?
Forev'r endure
Regardless of my will.
Who am I? That you show.
Unbreaking grace still.
Who am I? That you hold.
My weak and weary soul.
And how can I?
Deserve your pow'r.
Living against Your will.
How can such pow'r?
Break down the chains
Of bondage caused by sin.
Who am I?
That You give.
Unshaking pow'r within.
"Who am I?" discusses the singer's inner thoughts, sharing the theme of "how can human beings find favour with such a Divine God?". The paradox is given: one may cry for deliverance to God from situations, but one can never deserve such love, grace, and power from God. The text shares the truth that God gives love, grace, and power freely. The melody ascending and descending shows the constant cry to the Lord, the upward climb, and the constant struggles in life, the downward flow.
