Who You Say I am - A Child Of God Lyrics
Lyrics
Who am I that the highest King
Would welcome me
I was lost but He brought me in
Oh His love for me
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
Free at last He has ransomed me
His grace runs deep
While I was a slave to sin
Jesus died for me
Yes He died for me
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
[Bridge]
I am chosen, not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me, not against me
I am who You say I am
I am chosen, not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me, not against me
I am who You say I am
I am who You say I am
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
Would welcome me
I was lost but He brought me in
Oh His love for me
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
Free at last He has ransomed me
His grace runs deep
While I was a slave to sin
Jesus died for me
Yes He died for me
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
[Bridge]
I am chosen, not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me, not against me
I am who You say I am
I am chosen, not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me, not against me
I am who You say I am
I am who You say I am
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
I'm a child of God
Yes I am

## Finding Identity in Who You Say I Am by Hillsong Worship
"Who You Say I Am" serves as a congregational declaration of identity rooted entirely in the finished work of Christ. Released in 2018 on the album *There Is More*, this song quickly became a staple in modern worship settings for its focus on the theological truth of adoption into God’s family.
The lyrics draw heavily from the Apostle Paul’s writings, particularly the concept of being ransomed from sin and welcomed into the Father's house. By contrasting our former state as slaves to sin with our new standing as children of God, the song mirrors the message of Galatians 4:6-7, where believers are reminded that they are no longer slaves but heirs through God.
Musically, the song builds from a gentle acknowledgment of grace into a confident bridge that affirms one's position in Christ. The recurring refrain, "I am who You say I am," shifts the focus away from internal feelings or external circumstances and anchors it in the unchanging character of God. It addresses the common struggle of questioning one's worth, offering a biblical remedy by replacing self-perception with the truth of the Gospel. Whether sung in a large gathering or a quiet moment of prayer, the song functions as a reminder that freedom is not earned, but given through the sacrifice of Jesus.
