Who Am I

I plan to run this in the NCFCA as an Original Oritory. I know it's under time but I don't think adding anything would make it better. What do you think?


Who am I
is a question asked so many times before
by everyone who ever knocked at the door of adulthood

Every day I look around me and too often I see
-people saying
if only I could just be me

Our postmodern prophets tell us to just be ourselves
Our culture is screaming out for help,
but nobody answers them

Cause Im just not that kind of person
Im not strong
or wise
Im no leader

You see the problem with our society is that
we are all so focused on me
Who am I,
What do I want,
What makes me happy,

The err isn’t society
but the question

We are always changing,
growing,
becoming,
We never simply are

I am not who I was when I took this stage
Then I was nervous
Now I am pleading

No
The question is not
Who am I
but Who should I be

Not who do I want me to be
but who does He want me to be

We where all made in the image of God
but If we honestly take a look in mirror
we are all quite infioro

To who He is
Who He wants us to be

We will never learn anything by asking
who am I
when we truly see ourselves it is through Gods eye
And I can’t speak for you
But I do know that I

Am inferior

I am
Broken,
and weak,
and fallen,
and helpless,

But God

They say that is the greatest praise in the Bible
and I strongly agree
because every time we read it we are about to see
Gods glory,
and mercy,
for you and for me

I am shameful
But God paid my debt in full
I am nothing
But God sais that I am beautiful

God sent His Son to a cross
for me
He sent Him to die
so that I can be free

So who am I?
I am a sinner
But God

When God looks at me He sees not who I am
Not my shame
Not me
But Jesus

Jesus blood washed away
who I am

Now He sais follow
Tho Im not sure I can
He sais ‘Just hold tightly to Me with both hands’
And I’ll do the fighting
tho you can’t let go
Many evils will tempt you
but you bust say no

here in this moment my mind is made still
my arguments are silenced
my objections made null

I stand now in silence
what great mystery

How can it be
That the God of creation
is fighting for me

wile I was a sinner
Jesus died for me
Now He sais follow
Through His eyes I see
The destination?...
Is the man I should be.

One question I ask you
one question only
Which will you ask,
Who am I?
or who should I be.
