I know exactly who I am
All of the places that I’ve been
I was just a mess before
Always wanting something more
I used to die inside my head
With all of my pain and my regret
Wanted to be someone else
Who did it right, and never fell
I’m not who I used to be
Blameless, You have made me blameless
Sin has been made nameless
Doesn’t matter who I was before
I am
Shameless, You have made me shameless
Sin has been made nameless
Cause Your love has come and left its mark
And I am blameless
I’ll never change the man I was
But I believe grace because
Everything I tried to I hide
You took away and gave me life
I feel the healing of Your hands
Was on my knees but now I stand
Finally I’m not ashamed
I’ve found the strength to face the day
I’m not who I used to be
Blameless, You have made me blameless
Sin has been made nameless
Doesn’t matter who I was before
I am
Shameless, You have made me shameless
Sin has been made nameless
Cause Your love has come and left its mark
And I am blameless
If only we could
Wake up, wake up, oh sleepers
We are children of our God
Lift up Your eyes oh people
There is freedom in His arms
You are blameless,
You have been made blameless
Sin has been made nameless
Doesn’t matter who You were before
You are shameless, You have been made shameless
Sin has been made nameless
Cause His love has come and left its mark
And we are blameless

Behind the Song:“I wrote this song for my dad. My dad is at the age where he’s beginning to take a look at his life. He says, ‘I’m starting to count up and do a tally.’ I wish he wouldn’t do that because he doesn’t understand that the tally of all the things that he’s done wrong is gone. It doesn’t exist. I just wanted to write a song that was me speaking about that. The song talks about how I know who I was before, but God has forgotten that. We get into a slumber of blame and guilt. We wanted to shake people and say, ‘You’ve been set free. Remember the truth.’ Our past isn’t meant to be our burden, it’s meant to be our testimony. I think that is the whole point of Blameless.” - Jason Roy
