I Know Who I Am

I know who I am
I am at times confused bewildered
I am pondering wondering questioning
I am a grain of sand in a windswept desert
I am a mist obliterated by the morning sun
I am a wave in oceans deep
I am an atom amidst the constellations
I am in the greater universe invisible

Oh but God in his image was I formed
Just a little lower than the angels made he me
Out of dust shaped and from his very breath given life
I am man extension of his love
I know who I am where I’m going
I know how to get there
I am not static I am perpetual motion
I have purpose and direction 

 Oh but God my God finally I know who I am
Confusion relents and bows to revelation
I am strong umbilically connected
I am peace and joy unbridled
I am grace personified I am truth I am content
