A Song In The Night: Casting Crowns' Who AM I

It has been several years since Casting Crowns created the popular song Who AM I; but, these past couple of months, every time I listen to it, it’s as if I’m hearing it for the very first time.

A song in the night.

Yes, that’s what it has become alongside some of the Christian tunes listed in my playlist.

One particular passage has never failed to grab my heart:

In a simple yet profound way, images of Jesus calming a furious storm as chronicled in Matthew 8:23-27 and Mark 4:35-41, ran through my mind.

And while listening to the song, I can’t help but be amazed that the all-powerful God of the universe doesn’t only care about life’s big storms; but is also very much interested in calming the storm inside me.

Mark Hall of Casting Crowns tells of a similar experience which led him to compose the song Who AM I.

When you think about it, no one can really be spared from life’s many storms- be it relational, financial or in its very sense, a physical type of calamity or tragedy.

But as the song goes:

 “Whom shall I fear

Whom shall I fear

‘Cause I am Yours.”

Lyrics of Casting Crowns’ Who AM I

Courtesty of castingcrowns.com

“God is a safe place to hide,

ready to help when we need him.

We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom,

courageous in seastorm and earthquake,

Before the rush and roar of oceans,

the tremors that shift mountains.”

                 (Psalm 46:1-3 The Message Version)
