Who I Am

I relate very well to music. I always have. I've recently discovered Jason Gray's music. His lyrics are very personal to me and I can tell that he is being vulnerable in his music. Maybe that is why I appreciate his music so much is because of that vulnerability.

The song "Remind Me Who I Am" really hit home with me. In the song, he is pleading to be reminded of who he is to The Lord. Addiction has had a way of making me forget who I am which is exactly what Satan wants. The more I forget, the less I turn to God and the more bound I am. The Lord though, will remind me how precious I am to him if we let him. I am seeing this day by day sometimes moment by moment. Those moments hopefully will lead to a better relationship with my Father in Heaven. The lyrics speak for themselves.



"Remind Me Who I Am"

When I lose my way,
And I forget my name,
Remind me who I am.
In the mirror all I see,
Is who I don't wanna be,
Remind me who I am.
In the loneliest places,
When I can't remember what grace is.

Tell me once again who I am to You,
Who I am to You.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to You,
That I belong to You.
To You.

When my heart is like a stone,
And I'm running far from home,
Remind me who I am.
When I can't receive Your love,
Afraid I'll never be enough,
Remind me who I am.
If I'm Your beloved,
Can You help me believe it.

Tell me once again who I am to You,
Who I am to You, whoa.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to You.
That I belong to You.
To You.

I'm the one you love,
I'm the one you love,
That will be enough,
I'm the one you love.

Tell me once again who I am to You.
Who I am to You.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to You,
That I belong to You, oh.

Tell me once again who I am to You.
Who I am to You.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to You,
That I belong to You.
To You
 I am grateful for good music and inspired artists who help The Lord remind me who I am..

  1. I love Jason Gray's music too. Christian music brings me such comfort as I strive for recovery. Thanks for sharing this. I know I forget who I am all the time.

  2. Thanks for sharing this song. The lyrics are truly heartbreaking. I'm married to a porn addict who's under the GreatnessAhead program and I could relate to those words of forgetting oneself in my husband's perspective and that of my own. In a way, wives often lost themselves too during the recovery process of their partners.
