About This Song
âI Am Who You Say I Amâ speaks into a world where labels abound. Society might label you according to your looks, achievements, or mistakes, and sometimes those labels can seep into your heart, shaping how you see yourself. This song is a musical declaration that the only label with eternal authority is the one God gives you: beloved child (1 John 3:1).
The opening verse sets the stage by describing the whirlwind of cultural voices and personal doubts. It doesnât shy away from the reality that we all wrestle with the question: Who gets to define me? Instead of offering shallow affirmations, the lyrics point directly to Godâs Word, explaining that each believerâs identity is rooted in Christâs redemptive work (Ephesians 1:7). You are not who the world says you are; you are who He says you are.
Musically, âI Am Who You Say I Amâ merges modern worship with a heartfelt melody, creating an environment that prompts listeners to join in this confessional anthem. The second verse highlights the repentance aspectârecognizing and turning away from the lie that we must earn acceptance. This moment acts like a pivotal shift in the song, guiding us to reflect on how often weâve chased approval from people rather than resting in Godâs unchanging love.
A key feature is the incorporation of El Roiâthe God who sees (Genesis 16:13)âreminding us that no struggle or insecurity goes unnoticed by our Creator. As the bridge moves into intercession, we cry out on behalf of those who feel worthless or nameless, asking God to open their eyes to the truth of who He says they are.
By the final chorus, the song bursts with confidence and freedom, making it clear that when the Lord speaks over you, His words carry life, hope, and affirmation. With every note, âI Am Who You Say I Amâ stands as a rallying cry for believers to throw off false labels and embrace their true identity in Christ.

I Am Who You Say I Am
In a world obsessed with labels, titles, and appearances, it can be easy to forget who we really are. The noise of culture often drowns out the still, steady voice of the One who made us. But the song âI Am Who You Say I Amâ invites us backâto the only definition that matters: Godâs.
From the first line, the lyrics remind us how relentless the world can be in trying to shape us. It shouts messages about identity, success, and acceptance, but the deeper we go into those voices, the emptier we feel. Yet even in that chaos, the whisper of Yeshua breaks through. The truth rises like a steady flame: *You are who I say you are.*
đ Scripture Reflection
âSee what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are.â â 1 John 3:1
This isnât just a poetic ideaâitâs a divine declaration. Youâre not what your past says. Youâre not what people think. Youâre not the worst thing youâve done or the title you never earned. Youâre a child of God, and that changes everything.
âDo not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.â â Romans 12:2
The transformation begins when we allow His truth to overwrite our inner script. Thatâs what repentance looks likeâturning from the worldâs definition and receiving Heavenâs.
đ„ A Song of Return and Restoration
This song isnât just a declarationâitâs a homecoming. It walks us through repentance, not with shame, but with open arms. When we sing, âForgive my doubt, replace it with faith,â weâre stepping into restoration. Weâre realigning with the truth that El Roiâthe God who seesâhas never lost sight of who we are.
The beauty of the bridge is that it turns outward. We donât just reclaim our identity for ourselves; we intercede for others. For every child lost in lies, for every soul bruised by shame, we plead the blood of Yeshua and proclaim the truth: *You are not forgotten. You are not misnamed. You are who He says you are.*
đż Personal Application
What labels have I allowed to define me that God never assigned?
Where do I need to receive God’s truth instead of othersâ opinions?
Who in my life needs to hear the truth of who they are in Christ?
Take a moment today. Sit in the quiet and ask Ruach HaKodesh to reveal any false identity youâve been carrying. Write them down. Then cross them out. Replace them with what the Word declares: beloved, chosen, redeemed, child of God.
đ Prayer
Abba Father, You see me completely and love me still. In a world full of shifting words and shallow identities, Your truth anchors my soul. Thank You for calling me by nameâfor speaking worth over me when I had none of my own.
Yeshua, I return to You. Forgive me for letting othersâ voices shape my heart. Forgive me for chasing approval when Your love was always enough. I receive again Your name over my life. I am who You say I am.
Ruach HaKodesh, breathe into every insecure place. Break every chain of shame and confusion. Restore the beauty of identity rooted in truth. Fill me with grace to carry this freedom into the lives of others.
Let my worship riseânot from performance, but from belovedness. Let my voice be part of the intercessionâa song that breaks chains, that heals wounds, that calls the weary home.
I am not forgotten. I am not forsaken. I am Yours. And that is enough. In Yeshuaâs name, amen.

Song Lyrics
I Am Who You Say I Am
Theme: Standing on the promises of God rather than shifting cultural labels.
Verse 1 â (Current Condition)
The world throws names at me, tries to redefine my core
But deep inside I know there must be something more
Confusion blurs my vision, acceptance feels so rare
Yet in the chaos, I sense Your presence there
 (Reference: Ephesians 1:4-5, John 10:27-28)
Chorus â (Worship the Lord in the Condition)
Yeshua, in this whirlwind, I choose to call on You
El Roi, the God who sees, You know what Iâve been through
I lift my praise in honesty, no mask upon my face
For I am who You say I am, covered by Your grace
 (Reference: Genesis 16:13, 1 John 3:1)
 Verse 2 â (Repent)
Iâve chased their validation, let opinions lead my way
But every empty promise steals my joy each day
Ruach HaKodesh, convict my heart and draw me near
Forgive my doubt, replace it with faith instead of fear
 (Reference: Galatians 1:10, John 16:8)
Chorus â (Worship the Lord)
Yeshua, Holy One, I cling to what Youâve done
El Roi, my comforter, in You my victoryâs won
I lift my hands in total trustâmy identity is sure
You rewrite my destiny; in Your love Iâm secure
 (Reference: 2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 2:10)
Bridge â (Intercession)
Abba, for every child who doubts their worth or name
We plead Your blood, proclaim Your truth, and break the chains of shame
Give them eyes to see Your planâa hope that never dies
Show them who they truly are, through Heavenâs loving eyes
 (Reference: John 17:17, Romans 8:15)
Chorus â (Worship the Lord)
Yeshua, we magnify the cross where freedomâs found
El Roi, we rest in grace; Your mercy knows no bounds
In every generation, let identity be sealed
We are who You say we areâYour truth will be revealed
 (Reference: Romans 8:1, 1 Peter 2:9-10)
Outro â (Blessing)
YHWH Tsidkenu, clothe us in righteousness
Speak over us Your blessing, show us we are blessed
No longer slaves to doubt, forever marked by grace

Pray for strongholds of confusion and false identity to be broken by the power of Godâs Word. May you boldly declare who God says you areâchosen, loved, and free in Christ.Spiritual Engagement

Surmon Notes
đ„ Sermon: The Name That Defines Us
đż 1. A World of False Names, A Father Who Calls
We live in a world obsessed with names. Labels. Hashtags. Achievements. Appearances. From the moment weâre born, names are spoken over usâsome loving, others damaging. And as we grow, we often collect titles, wounds, and expectations that shape the way we see ourselves. But there is only one Voice that has the eternal authority to define youâthe One who created you. The song âI Am Who You Say I Amâ is not just a melody; itâs a defiant return to the truth that our identity is not based on our history, but on His Word.
âSee what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are.â â 1 John 3:1
This declaration breaks through the noise of every false name. We are not overlooked, misnamed, or rejectedâwe are called âchildren of God.â That name is not earned by performance but received by faith. Itâs not a title we grow into; itâs a name He speaks over us from the moment we are born of the Spirit (John 1:12).
Let the power of this sink in: You are not who your past says you are. You are not what your failures declare. You are not who others misjudged you to be. You are who Yeshua says you are.
đ„ 2. From Repentance to Reclamation
The second verse of the song carries a theme many avoidârepentance. But repentance, in the kingdom, is not shameâitâs alignment. Itâs the turning from counterfeit identities and returning to our true name in Christ.
âAnd be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mindâŠâ â Romans 12:2
Weâve all chased validationâfrom people, platforms, achievements. Weâve tried to earn worth by doing more or becoming what others expect. But in the quiet places, our souls grow weary. The SpiritâRuach HaKodeshâcalls us back to the truth. Conviction isnât condemnation; itâs clarity. Itâs the whisper of love saying, *This isnât who you are. Come back to Me.*
The song invites us to cry out, âForgive my doubt, replace it with faith.â And in that sacred surrender, God re-establishes the truth of Ephesians 2:10âthat we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works prepared in advance.
Repentance isnât just about changing our direction. Itâs about reclaiming our reflectionâmade in His image, sealed by His Spirit, and named by the Father who never stopped calling.
đ 3. Living in the Name That Breaks Chains
As the song builds into its bridge and final chorus, a prophetic shift takes place. The singer stops singing only for themselvesâand begins to intercede for others. This is the sound of maturity. This is the sound of sons and daughters rising to call a generation into freedom.
âYou did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, âAbba, Father!ââ â Romans 8:15
There is power when we not only receive our identity but begin to proclaim it for others. This is the essence of spiritual restoration and prophetic ministry. We cry out for every person who doubts their worth. We speak truth over every soul bound by shame. We declare, âYou are not forgotten. You are not disqualified. You are who He says you are.â
In the final chorus, we are reminded of our sealâthe Spirit Himself. The name YHWH TsidkenuâThe Lord Our Righteousnessâclothes us not in performance, but in purity. When we rest in that name, we stop striving. We start standing.
âNow he who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God. He has also sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.â â 2 Corinthians 1:21â22
This is our identity: sealed, seen, secure. We are not random. We are redeemed. We are not broken beyond repair. We are being rebuilt by grace. And when Yeshua calls you by name, no voiceâearthly or demonicâhas the power to override His word.
Prayer
Abba Father, You formed us with purpose and called us by name before we ever breathed our first breath. In a world of confusion and contradiction, we turn to Your Wordâour eternal compass and unshakable truth.
Forgive us, Lord, for accepting labels You never gave us. Forgive us for chasing the approval of others when we already have the affection of Heaven. We repent, not with fear, but with joy, knowing that Your arms are always open.
Yeshua, we choose Your voice over every other. You are our Designer, our Redeemer, our Security. We lift our hands not in performance, but in praise. Not in fear, but in faith.
Ruach HaKodesh, blow through every lie, every stronghold, every scar that has shaped our identity. Let Your truth rise louder. Let Your name be the only name that defines us. Use us to carry this freedom to othersâto call the weary home, to break chains with compassion, to sing truth until it becomes reality.
We are who You say we are. And that is enough. In Yeshuaâs mighty name, amen.

đ” Cue gentle intro music đ”
Welcome friendsâwhether youâre driving, walking, or just taking a quiet moment to breathe. Iâm so glad youâre here. Today weâre entering into a powerful moment of truth, healing, and restoration with the song âI Am Who You Say I Am.â This isnât just another worship trackâitâs a holy invitation to shake off the labels the world has placed on us and step boldly into our God-given identity. So, letâs go on this journey together and let the voice of Yeshua speak louder than every other name.
đ His Kingship Is Eternal
đ¶ Instrumental swell đ¶
Letâs start here: Before you were called by any other name, you were called His. Isaiah 43:1 says, âFear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine.â Thereâs nothing more secure than being named by the King of Kings. Every other voice is temporary. Every other label fades. But the name He speaks over youâbeloved, child, chosenâthat name holds eternal weight.
This song invites us to re-anchor our identity in Christâs unchanging truth. You are not defined by your performance, your pain, or your past. You are defined by His promise. That truth alone can reframe your entire life.
đ Surrender Is the Sound of Worship
đ¶ Cue brief instrumental interlude đ¶
One of the most beautiful things about this song is its honesty. âNo mask upon my faceâŠâ it says. Thatâs real worshipâwhen we come before God with nothing to prove and everything to receive. Romans 12:2 reminds us to stop conforming and start renewing. That starts with repentanceânot as a punishment, but as a pathway to restoration.
Worship from this place is powerful. Itâs not filtered, not polished. Itâs real. Itâs raw. And itâs holy. When you declare, âI am who You say I am,â you’re not only breaking freeâyouâre worshiping in Spirit and in truth. And that kind of worship shifts atmospheres.
đĄïž Intercession: When Worship Becomes Warfare
đ” Pause. Let Holy Spirit bring names to mind đ”
The bridge of this song shifts from personal declaration to intercession. Thatâs the prophetic heart of worship. We begin to sing not only for ourselves, but for the ones still hidden in shame. We plead the blood. We break chains with our praise.
Romans 8:15 tells us, âYou have received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, âAbba, Father!ââ There are people in your world right now who donât know they are chosen. They donât know theyâre loved. As you worship, ask Holy Spirit to place names on your heart. Speak Godâs truth over them. Say it loud enough in the spirit that the enemy has to back off.
đ Final Reflections: A Life That Crowns Him Daily
So hereâs the question we leave with today: Who gets to name you? Culture? Trauma? Titles? Or the One who formed you in your motherâs womb? Yeshua says you are redeemed. Loved. Anointed. Seen. Called. And Heâs never been wrong.
Let this song become more than music. Let it be your declaration. Let it be your intercession. Let it be your compass when voices grow loud. âYou are who I say you are,â He whispers. May that be enough to steady your soul today.
đ¶ Soft outro music begins đ¶
đ Closing Prayer
Abba Father, thank You for calling us by name, for sealing us in Your love, and for reminding us who we are in You. We surrender every false label, every shame-filled identity, and every lie thatâs tried to speak louder than Your truth.
Yeshua, You are the God who sees us. Thank You for rewriting our destiny and restoring our worth. We choose to believe what Youâve spoken. Not what the world says. Not what fear says. But what You, our Creator, say.
Ruach HaKodesh, breathe over every heart listening today. Seal them in Your truth. Mark them with freedom. And use their worship as a weaponâfor themselves and for a generation that desperately needs to know: We are who You say we are. In Yeshuaâs name, amen.
