A reminder of who am I

Last night was He Cares volunteers' night celebration, a moving experience that once again reminded me of many truths that I seem forget about servanthood, about joy in the way we serve others, about knowing who should I be serving first and foremost. A night of fellowship at the Oliveros' home. Good food of overflowing salad with honey-mustard-mayo, linguine in white sauce, carrot cake of Carol Ann.

Fr. Steve, drove in the rain and thick Saturday night traffic to join us and have an intimate talk with us. And many reflections linger that will manifest in insights soon in these pages, but for now, this morning, this song is now playing.

Who Am I
by Casting Crowns
album: Casting Crowns (2003)

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours
