Melinda TarconRemind Me Who I Am, Jesus
Tell me again, Jesus, who I am.
Because, I think I’ve forgotten.
This world is hard and bitter,
and sometimes, I too, am hard and bitter.
Remind me again Jesus, who I am.
Because, I think I’m believing things that are false.
I’ve been comparing myself to the standards this world has set,
Speak the truth of who I am to me, Jesus.
Because I have been treading water for so long.
I am so weary and the waves are so high;
I think I might be drowning.
If I really am who You say I am, Jesus,
Why is my heart so fickle?
Why am I so prone to wander?
Why do I run from Your love?
Tell me again, Jesus, who I am.
Because, I think I’ve forgotten.
“You are Mine.
You are Mine, Beloved, And I Am yours.
And you are Becoming.
You are Becoming all that I have intended for you to be.
"When your heart becomes hard,
When your heart becomes bitter,
I will breathe into you,
And soften you with my Love.
"And when you start believing the lies,
When you compare yourself to the artificial standards of this world,
I will remind you of the truth;
That I formed you according to my likeness.
"When the waves become too high,
And the waters grow too deep;
When you are too weary to keep your head above water,
I will come to you and rescue you.
"Yes. Your heart is fickle.
You are prone to wander;
To leave Me;
To run from My love.
"But I will never leave you.
I will never let go of you.
"You are Mine, you see.
"I bought you;
Paid for you with the very highest price.
Do you think I will ever let that sacrifice go to waste?
Do you think I could so easily let go of you?
You, whom I gave my life for?
"Never.
Never, my daughter.
You are far to precious to Me.
My very life-blood flows through your veins.
I will never let you go.
"You are Mine.
You are Mine, child,
And I am yours.
