I’ll never understand why He saw a piece of clay
And said, “I want it, I’ll use it”
The greatest mystery is that somehow in spite of me
He said, “I’m gonna love you”
He took me in His arms, said, “This child belongs to me”
He placed me in His kingdom, now I live like royalty
It’s not because of what I am
Not because of what I’ve done
It’s because of whose I am
I’ll never understand while I was yet a slave
He said He’d buy me, He’d save me
He clothed himself in flesh, became the final sacrifice
So I could know redemption
He took the stripes upon His back so that I can walk in health
Then He broke the chains of death, now I can live forevermore
It’s not because of what I am
Not because of what I’ve done
It’s because of whose I am
My Father is Lord of everything from here beyond forever and ever
He’s given me His name
Said if I’d ask anything He’d gladly give it
Said He’d give it, He said He’d give it to me
He put a robe upon my back (My back)
He put a ring upon my hand (My hand)
Said the riches of Heaven were all mine
It’s not because of what I am (What I am)
Not because of what I’ve done
But because He first loved me (He loved me)
His grace has set me free
His blood is flowing through my veins (My veins)
I’m adopted by the King
It’s because of whose I am
It’s not because of what I am (What I am)
Not because of what I’ve done (What I’ve done)
But because He first loved me (He loved me)
And His grace has set me free
I said His grace has set me free
His blood is flowing through my veins (My veins)
I’m adopted by the King
It’s because of whose
Not because of what I am
Not because of what I am
Because of whose I am
