Remind Me Who I Am


I have loved this song since the first time I heard it.

It never gets old.  I could listen to it's message every single day for the rest of my life and still need the constant reminder of who I am.  And whose I am.

I'm so thankful that I serve a patient God who will continue to remind me who He created me to be, no matter how many times I ask.


Click here for an article explaining the meaning behind the song and it's tie-in to Romans 7:17-25


Romans 7:17-25

New International Version (NIV)
17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging waragainst the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
