I'll never understand
Why He sought a piece of clay
And said, "I want it, I'll use it"
The greatest mystery
Is somehow in spite of me
He said, "I'm gonna love you"
He took me in His arms
Said, "This child belongs to me"
He placed me in His Kingdom
Now I live like royalty

It's not because of what I am
Not because of what I've done
But because of Whose I am

My Father is Lord of everything
From here beyond forever
(Beyond forever)
He's given me His name
Said if I'd ask anything
He'd gladly give it
(He'd gladly, gladly give it)

He put a robe upon my back
He put a ring upon my hand
Said the riches of heaven were all mine
It's not because of what I am
(What I am)
Not because of what I've done
(What I've done)
But because He first loved me
(Loved me)
His grace has set me free
His blood is flowing through my veins
I'm adopted by the King
It's because of Whose I am
I'll never understand
While I was yet a slave
He said He'd buy me, He'd save me
He clothed Himself in flesh
Became the final sacrifice
So that I would know redemption
He took the stripes upon His back
So that I could walk in health
He broke the chains of death
Now I can live forevermore

It's not because of what I am
Not because of what I've done
But because of Whose I am

My Father is Lord of everything
From here beyond forever
(Beyond forever)
He's given me His name
I said, if I'd ask anything
He'd gladly give it
(He'd gladly, gladly give it)

He put a robe upon my back
He put a ring upon my hand
Said the riches of heaven were all mine
It's not because of what I am
(What I am)
Not because of what I've done
(What I've done)
But because He first loved me
(Loved me)
His grace has set me free
His blood is flowing through my veins
I'm adopted by the King
It's because of Whose I am
Not because of what I am
Not because of what I've done
But because He first loved me
His grace has set me free
His blood is flowing through my veins
I'm adopted by the King
Because, because

Because of Whose I am
Not because of what I am
Because of Whose I am
Not because of what I've done
Because of Whose I am
