07/04/2019 – Thanks to an email from Alex, to keep this review in line with other reviews, I lowered the score for section four given the centrality of self described in other sections of this review. Ah yes, I see where you are coming from! Part of its beauty is IN its simplicity. Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers, NT Gospels: Matthew 16:15 He said to them But who do (Matt. Let us find out together. Given the Chorus, we can ascertain that the prisoner is enslaved by sin and was freed by a payment. if one message doesn’t capture every point…dont worry there will be more next week! I counted the following phrases: Examine the entire lyrics to see what I mean. Repetition is how we learn and how children learn. Who, which, what, why. Late to the party I guess, but I only just got around to using this song in corporate worship two weeks ago. More emphatic in the Greek, Υμεῖς δὲ τίνα με λέγετε εϊναι; But ye, who do ye say that I am? This song is a beautiful testimony of what God has done for us and who we are in Christ. The context of Jesus’ question “Who do you say that I am?” is important: “Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, ‘Who do the crowds say I am?’ “They replied, ‘Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.’ I’m a child of God Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. I’m also inconsistent, downgrading it in only the last section and in its conclusion and recommendation. Its not navel gazing…its biblical truth that bares reoetition. Thomas asked the same question in John 14:5. Are you the same Harvey Jones that I met years ago?

Thank you for your comments! Psalm 59:16 – But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.

Psalm 7:17 – I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High. This would be tragic, especially given the biblical depth that exists within these lines; however, I sympathize with this rationale for rejection. I think that is the spirit behind this song as well. If so, can you be more specific? I mostly agree with the review, and with the thought that it is directionally inward toward the self. Verb - Present Indicative Active - 2nd Person Plural, Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Accusative 1st Person Singular.

Psalm 63:3 – Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. I feel that it is less about being self-focused, and more about rejoicing. Psalm 63:7 – for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.

Much of the song can be interpreted as an overinflated view of one’s self with God’s approval in view; However, consider the following: A narcissist is, by Merriam-Webster’s definition, “an extremely self-centered person who has an exaggerated sense of self-importance”. I used to hate ‘modern worship’. Psalm 71:22 – I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. But I have to say in general I have to disagree with the criticism of the self-focus of the song. Calmly and politely state your case in a comment, below. Psalm 57:7 – My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! The phrase “I am who You say I am” is much different than “I Am who I am” found in Exodus 3:14. This is also why I listen to commentary and occasionally update reviews as I’ve done just now. Cody Carnes & Kari Jobe) – The Blessing, Cody Carnes and Cory Asbury – Christ Be Magnified, “Who the Son sets free Oh is free indeed” – 4 times, “In my Father’s house There’s a place for me” – 4 times, “You are for me, not against me” – 6 times. It’s simple “I am a child of God.” I am who God says I am throughout the entire bible. That is where Hillsong comes in to fill this gap, especially since not everyone is called to be a Psalmist (or lyricist in this case). 02/07/2020 – Added a summary to section 2 that was previously missing. Sometimes, I miss out on a larger context within an album and occasionally examine it based on feedback from other people.

Not sure I understand your point. Yes I am 04/20/2020 – Inspired to hear it again by commenter Brian, I no longer saw a self-focused song. 1, DOWNLOAD ALBUM: Otega - Really Bhard (ZIP & MP3), https://topnaija.ng/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Hill-Song-Worship-Who-You-Say-I-Am.mp3.

Amen. Thanks for your comment! I feel like people are reading into this waaaaay too much. In my Father’s house Note to new users: This is a different kind of review site! Much of my reasoning steps from the usage of “I”, “me”, and “my”; However, I was reminded that many of the Psalms contain just as many, if not more self-references. Another part is my failure to separate church and personal use. The qualifier “You say” indicates that one person declares something about the identity of another, contextualized as “child of God” throughout this song.

I couldn’t understand why it was necessary to repeat the same thing over and over again. I will sing and make melody! God’s unmerited favor runs so deep, a terrible price was paid. After the skirmish with the Pharisees regarding the woman caught in adultery and spoke many truths concerning Himself, many of the Jews started to believe Him (John 8:30), though later, they tried to kill Him after Jesus utters the oft-quoted “Before Abraham was born, I am” (John 8:58). Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Nominative 2nd Person Plural. I too at first wondered if it was too self focused. For the record, I did not deduct points for this concern! Disagree?

Psalm 22:25 – From you comes my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will perform before those who fear him. We will find out later just how great that love is. Worship leaders may consider this song, depending on their views on repetition or if God defining who we seems self-focused. Therefore, I removed the commentary and increased its score. My apologies for the gramatical errors in the above post. It is Biblically sound and presents hope to unbelievers for those who wish to learn more, glorifying God. Does that simplicity miss some points? This is confirmed explicitly in lines 3-5, below.

I appreciate you brother!

My concern is the use of a song that ministers to the individual used in corporate worship. Oh is free indeed This song really helped me with seeing my worth as a child of God. Listening to this song again, another thought that struck me is that what this song is …is testimony. This prompts these Jews to ask Jesus “What do you mean? Psalm 108:1 – My heart is steadfast, O God! Thanks for letting me know!
