IDENTITY

I have been thinking a lot lately about my identity. Circumstances have obviously changed anything I had thought it to be previously. Granted I am a wife, mother, teacher, caregiver, missionary, pastor's wife, grandmother, Christian, etc. etc. But really, what is my identity???
The newest album released by Kutless called Believer has a song simply titled Identity. The album is one of my current favorites and has ministered to me in so wonderfully during the long hard hours of the past 3.5 months.
I may never know all of God's purpose in the path He has allowed us to travel and truly that isn't really even important. Rather, will I Praise Him, will I Glorify Him, will I trust Him will I wholly and truly allow HIM to be my identity. " I'm so tired of trying to prove it, I'm never gonna do it on my own. God I need You to be my identity." I don't want to be seen or know for what I do or what I am or what I am not. My heart's cry is that my identity will be truly in Christ!!

IDENTITY

I’ve been looking from the outside, outside
I’ve been walking on a straight line, straight line
Scared to let the world see my failures, who I am, or who I’ve been

I’ve been waiting for somebody else to
Take the chance that I am so afraid to
I don’t know how to find myself am I the only one the only one

Oh I wanna feel You move me like a river running through me
I am so tired of trying to prove it I’m never gonna do it alone
God I need You to be my identity

It’s always easier to hide behind that
Camouflage that keeps our hearts so guarded
But there’s no shame when we surrender everything to You
Everything to You

Oh I wanna feel You move me like a river running through me
I am so tired of trying to prove it I’m never gonna do it alone

I want to see the world change, see the system cave in
You pull our hearts from the ashes
The cry of the captive is rising

Cause I wanna feel You move me like a river running through me
I am, so tired of trying to prove it I’m never gonna do it alone

Oh Oh I wanna feel You move me like a river running through me
I am I am So tired of trying to prove it I’m never gonna do it alone
God I need you to be, I need you to be, yeah
God I need you to be, my identity,

My Identity.
