Lyrics:
I’m a son of a good man
I’m the child of an angel
I’m the brother of a wild one
And I’m looking for direction
I’m the lover of a beauty
I’m the father of blessings
I’m a singer of a love song
But is that all I’m good for
This is who I am
This is who I am
So take me and make me something so much more
This is who I am
This is who I am
So change me and make me someone better than before
I’m a saint and a sinner
I’m a lover and a fighter
I’m a true believer, with great desire
I’m a preacher of grace, prophet of love, teacher of truth
I’ve fallen down so many times
But here I stand in front of you
Take me as I am
But please don’t leave me that way
‘Cause I know that you can make me better than I am today

Behind the Song:
“We have songs that talk about being in a place where you’re ready to make a change, a time of prayer where you are asking God to fix things in your life, and then there’s that process of taking what God has done for you and moving forward. That’s definitely one of the ‘early stage process’ songs [saying] ‘This is the person I am. These are the things that I’ll be in my life, but I know I’ve still got some growing to do and some changing to do in my life.’ It’s really a prayer to God saying, ‘This is who I am. You know who I am, take me and change me and make me into someone who is so much more, so much better than I am now.’” – Mac Powell (Third Day)
