Yo sé quien soy yo / I know who I am

For my drive to KY for worship class (WO 510) weekend #2 on March 13, I grabbed a handful of my Spanish CDs so I could worship some in Spanish.  I haven't really done that on my drives back and forth to KY to school and I have missed worship in Spanish from my drives to FL for the Academy and worship in the Academy. 

I have a fairly large selection of Spanish compilation praise and worship CDs and some individual artists. 

I started with Danilo Montero's En Vivo Desde La Iglesia Lakewood: Devoción (Live From Lakewood Church: Devotion).

There were two songs in particular that struck me to the core, that evoked deep emotion.  They took me to the foot of the throne.  Habían dos canciones en particular que me tocaron profundamente. Me tomaron al pie del trono.

While listening to the songs, I was in "Spanish-mode".  I thought I might write solely in Spanish, but I decided to write in English.   Even if you don't speak or understand Spanish, I encourage you to listen to the songs.  Maybe they will touch you as they did me.  As I looked back at my notes, I see that one of the songs is the Revelation Song (Revelación) that I wrote about yesterday.  Danilo Montero doesn't use the same name for it as Ingrid Rosario (Digno y Santo), but uses the cognate of the English title).  I knew I had heard that song in Spanish. ☺  It's powerful likely in any language.

The first song that caught my attention was: «Yo sé quien soy yo».  It was written by Israel Houghton and Chris Tomlin in 2007. 

Lyrics:

Yo sé quien soy yo////
Tuyo soy, tuyo soy
Tú eres mi Dios
Cristo eres mi Dios//

Extraviado
Me encontraste
Ciego estaba
Y ahora puedo ver
Hoy tu canción yo cantaré
Quebrantado
Me sanaste
Muerto estaba
Y ahora vivo en ti
Tu identidad has puesto en mí
Yo sé, yo sé///

Soy perdonado
Tu amigo soy
Soy aceptado
Yo sé quien soy yo
Tengo confianza
Seguro estoy
Que soy amado
Yo sé quien soy yo
Volví a vivir
Yo libre soy
Te pertenezco a ti
Tú eres mi Dios

I haven't heard this song ("I Know Who I Am") in English before, but it wasn't difficult to find.  Here it is on the album A Deeper Level by Israel & New Breed, featuring Chris Tomlin.

Lyrics in English:

"I Know Who I Am"
I know who I am
I know who I am
I know who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

I know who I am
I know who I am
I know who I am
I am yours, I am yours

And you are mine
Jesus you are mine
You are mine
Jesus you are mine

I was running and you found me
I was blinded and you gave me sight
You put a song of praise in me

I was broken and you healed me
I was dying and you gave me life
Lord you are my identity
And I know, I know

I know who I am
I know who I am
I know who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

I know who I am
I know who I am
I know who I am
I am yours, I am yours

I was running and you found me
I was blinded and you gave me sight
You put a song of praise in me

I was broken and you healed me
I was dying and you gave me life
Lord you are my identity
And I know, I know, I know, I know

I am forgiven
I am your friend
I am accepted, I know who I am
(I know who I am)
I am secured, I'm confident,
That I am loved, I know who I am
(I know who I am)
I am alive
I've been set free
I belong to you and you belong to me

Oh oh
Oh oh
Hey

I know who I am
I know who I am
I know who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

I know who I am
I know who I am
I know who I am
I am yours, I am yours

I know who I am
I know who I am
I know who I am
I am yours, I am yours

And you are mine
Jesus you are mine
You are mine
Jesus you are mine

The second song that touched me on this album by Danilo Montero was the «Revelación» song with Kari Jobe.  This song was written by Jennie Lee Riddle in 2004. 

Here are the Spanish lyrics:

Digno es el cordero santo
Santo, santo es Él
Levantamos nuestra alabanza
Al que en el trono está

Santo, santo, santo
Dios todopoderoso
Quien fue, quien es y quien vendrá
La creación hoy canta
Y damos Gloria a Él
Tú eres digno por siempre y siempre

Even though I already posted a Spanish version of this song in yesterday's post with the Revelation Song being the last in a worship set, I will post another one today, so you can listen directly and worship here and now.  [If you want the English version, there are plenty on yesterday's post! You can access it by clicking the following link: Music from the radio...combining the songs into a worship set (and LOTS of the Revelation Song).]

Thanks for allowing me to share some of my worship time with you that I experienced in my "rolling sanctuary" on my way to worship class weekend #2 a few weeks ago driving to KY. 

May these songs (either the English or Spanish versions) touch your spirit and allow you to worship.

Blessings on your journey,

Debra
