All He Says I Am

There are so many voices out there telling us how we should act...what we should look like...who we should be.
It's so easy to get lost within the lies of those voices.
To never actually hear and know the truth of who we are.
To never hear the only Voice that matters.
To never hear the truth of who we are in Christ.
To never know the love, freedom, and abundant life that's found through knowing Him.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Our identity is in Him and Him alone.
We are His beloved children.
Redeemed. Restored. Whole. ALIVE!!

No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you. Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will live. When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them. 

I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.  

I love Cody Carnes' song All He Says I Am that expresses all of this so incredibly well. I could just sit and listen to it over and over and over. In fact, I have...

He whispers in my ear

Tells me that I'm fearless

He shares a melody

Tells me to repeat it

And it makes me whole

It reminds my soul

I am all He says I am

I am all He says I am

I am all He says I am

And He says I am His own

I was blinded by scales upon my eyes

And He came like a light

And burned up all the lies

Oh He set me free

He reminded me

I am all He says I am

I am all He says I am

I am all He says I am

And He says I am His own

Chains are broken, scales are on the floor

Truth is spoken, I'm no orphan anymore

Chains are broken, scales are on the floor

Truth is spoken, I'm no orphan anymore

Chains are broken, scales are on the floor

Truth is spoken, I'm no orphan anymore

I am loved

I am new again

And I am free

I'm no slave to sin

And I'm a saint

I am righteousness

And I'm alive!

I'm alive!

I'm alive!

I'm alive!

I'm alive!

I'm alive!

Oh I'm alive!

I'm alive!

I'm alive!

I am all He says I am

I am all He says I am

I am all He says I am

And He says I am His own
