This Is Who I Am

There are several things I love about Shane & Shane. On the top of that list is the gift they have of singing scripture over us. They released a new album this week called "Everything Is Different." It's wonderful. Chalked with the Word of God and truth. Check out www.shaneandshane.com for some of the songs and the stories behind them. Here is one of my favorites--

I am a new creation,
the old is passed away
and I’m made new
I’m made new.

And I have been adopted,
the door is opened up
for me to know you
be like you

This is who I am
I’ve been born again
the Cross is my defense,
my hope secured
now my life is in Your Hand
on Your every word I stand
Lord I’m finding who I am in all you are

When my heart condemns me
tells me I am guilty
Your greater
Your greater

Jesus you have searched me,
and even in your finding
You have loved
and You love me

This is who I am
I’ve been born again
the Cross is my defense,
my hope secured
now my life is in Your Hand
on Your every word I stand
Lord I’m finding who I am in all you are

For He made Him who knew no sin
To be sent
On our behalf was crucified
Oh that we could be the righteousness
Of our creator

I am a new creation,
the old is passed away
and I’m made new
I’m made new.

This is who I am
I’ve been born again
the Cross is my defense,
my hope secured
now my life is in Your Hand
on Your every word I stand
Lord I’m finding who I am in all you are

This is who I am
I’ve been born again
the Cross is my defense,
my hope secured
now my life is in Your Hand
on Your every word I stand
Lord I’m finding who I am in all you

-Shane & Shane
