Who I Am in Christ
[Modern Americana country gospel, mid tempo, male baritone lead, conversational verses rising to confident declaration in chorus, intimate and worshipful in bridge. Acoustic rhythm guitar, electric guitar with light twang, bass, drums with steady backbeat, subtle piano under chorus and bridge.]
Verse 1
I've been justified by faith in what He has done
I've been bought with a price by His precious blood
I am a member of His body, a saint set apart
An ambassador of Christ directly from the Father's heart
Chorus
I was adopted as a child of God
When I didn't have any hope in this world
Redeemed and forgiven, my sins buried and gone
Washed clean by His blood, this is amazing grace
My standing is freedom because of what He's done
All things work together through His only Son
No heights nor depths, no darkness
No darkness too dark to see
Sealed by His Spirit, prepared for eternity
Bridge
[Band drops to acoustic and piano only, builds back in on second half]
Your blood opened the door
But You didn't leave me in despair
You took away the stains of sin
And the wretched shame I bear
You clothed me in the finest linen
Every thread your grace
Woven through with righteousness
And mercy took my place
Verse 2
Brought near by His blood, the mystery unsealed
The fellowship of grace now fully revealed
The one new man, the Body of Christ
Every member grounded in Him and sealed
Chorus
I was adopted as a child of God
When I didn't have any hope in this world
Redeemed and forgiven, my sins buried and gone
Washed clean by His blood, this is amazing grace
My standing is freedom because of what He's done
All things work together through His only Son
No heights nor depths, no darkness
No darkness too dark to see
Sealed by His Spirit, prepared for eternity
Tagline
[Acoustic only, soft and settled]
In Christ alone, this is who I am
Held forever in the Father's hand
[Outro: Acoustic guitar fades out slowly]
