I was running and You found me
I was blinded and You gave me sight
You put a song of praise in me
Oh I was broken and You healed me
I was dying and You gave me life
Lord You are my identity
I know I know
(I know I know)
I know who I am
I know who I am
I know who I am
I am Yours I am Yours
(REPEAT)
And You are mine
Jesus You are mine You are mine
Jesus You are mine
I am forgiven
I am Your friend
I am accepted
I know who I am
I am secure
I’m confident that I am loved
I know who I am
I am alive (I am alive)
I am set free (I am set free)
I belong to You and You belong to me
Oh oh
Israel Houghtonne & Chris Tomlin
