Re: Who Am I?

[Nelson Bradford]

I'd like more info on this wonderful song of His marvelous saving grace:

When I think of how He came so far from glory
Came to dwell among the lowly such as I
To suffer shame and such disgrace
On Mount Calvary take my place
Then I ask myself this question
Who am I?

Not sure re author, but do recall chorus to this verse:

Who am I that a king would bleed & die for?
Who am I that He would pray, "Not my will, thine, Lord."
[altho' I?] may never know why He came to love me so
That to an old rugged cross He'd go, for who am I?

Somewhere, packed away, I have a CD or cassette of Wally and Ginger Laxson singing that song.

Don't know anything about author or date, though.

Once you find it, Brad, the composer should at least be listed, even if you can't get a date off from that.

This song was part of our Easter cantata this year, Nelson. I actually have the sheet music for it, as arranged by Russell Mauldin.

Hope the above data is helpful.

Brian Arner has a beautiful CD out with this song on it.

IF all goes as planned it'll be featured here soon.

Rusty Goodman was a member of the Happy Goodman Gospel Group (Younger brother of Howard Goodman)

While he and one other brother died before the Gaither video's started, they have often featured his oldest brother Howard and Howard's wife Vestal (both since deceased) and Rusty Goodman's daughter Tanya.

Chorus 1
Who am I that a King
Would bleed and die for
Who am I that He would pray
Not my will Thine for
The answer I may never know
Why He ever loved me so
That to an old rugged cross He'd go
For who am I

Verse 1
When I think of how He came
So far from glory
Came and dwelt among the lowly
Such as I
To suffer shame and such disgrace
On Mount Calv'ry take my place
Then I ask myself a question
Who am I

Verse 2
Then I'm reminded of His words
I'll leave thee never
Just be true I'll give to you
A life forever
I wonder what I could have done
To deserve God's only Son
Fight my battles 'til they're won
Who am I
