Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yay
[Verse 2]
You know, y'all, I, I found out somethin', Jonathan, that
Because of who He is, I am
Because He gave His life, I have life
See, it's not about us, but it's all about Him
And because of Him, I am more than a common
[Verse 3]
I am, I am because of who You are, who You are
I am, I am because of who You are, who You are
I am, I am because of who You are, who You are
I am, I am because of who You are, who You are
I am, I am because of who You are, who You are
I am, I am because of who You are, who You are
[Verse 4]
You have overcome the world on a hill they call Cavalry
Because You are, I am
With three words, it is finished, rob death of its victory
Because You are, I am
Now the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want for any
So I walk through the valley of death, I have no fear
[Verse 5]
(Because You are) You are my hope, my salvation
(Because You are) And I am redeemed and forgiven
(Because You are) You are the rock and my refuge
(Because You are) I am because who You are
[Verse 6]
Now Your word and Your Kingdom's established forever
Because You are, I am
Angels bow before You, Heaven and Earth adore You
Because You are, I am
Greater is He that is in me than he that is against me
With the Lord on my side, I win
[Verse 7]
(Because You are) You are the great King Jehovah
(Because You are) And I am a child of royalty
(Because You are) (You are the way) And a way maker
(Because You are) Whom the Son sets free is free in me
[Verse 8]
Because You are, I am
Say it again
Because You are, I am
Say
[Verse 9]
(Because You are) You are the offspring of David
(Because You are) And I am strong and courageous
(Because You are) The gates of Hell will not prevail
(Because You are) Yes, I am, I am 'cause You are
[Verse 10]
God has not given us the spirit of fear
But of love, power, and a sound mind
[Verse 11]
(Because You are) Yes, You are alpha and omega
(Because You are) And I am the head, not the tail
(Because You are) You are the truth and resurrection
(Because You are) Your awesome love never fails
[Verse 12]
(You are) I am because who
(You are) I am because who
(You are) I am because who
(You are) I am because who
(You are) I am because who
(You are) I am because who
(You are) I am because who
(You are) I am because who
[Verse 13]
Say (Because You are, I am)
Say it again (Because You are, I am)
Satan can't hold me down (Because You are, I am)
'Cause I'm a child again (Because You are, I am)
I am more than a common (Because You are, I am)
And it's all because of You (Because You are, I am)
Yes, I am, yes, I am, yes, I am
[Verse 14]
Woo
'Cause Your love, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh
Because of You, I am, Lord
All that I am
He's all that I need
[Verse 15]
(I am, I am because of who You are, who You are)
Because of who You are
(I am, I am because of who You are, who You are)
Because of who You are
(I am, I am because of who You are, who You are)
I can do all things
(I am, I am because of who You are, who You are)
You rise to strength and You are
[Verse 16]
I am because who
(You are) Yes, I am (I am because who)
(You are) And there's nobody like Jesus (I am because who)
(You are) I can depend on Him (I am because who)
(You are) Because He never lets me down (I am because who)
