In our Father's house, there's a place for us                         _

The No. 1 song on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart for the week of Feb. 9, 2019 is "Who You Say I am" by Hillsong Worship. It's a song we've sang together several times while praising in the worship service at First Baptist Church Hamilton.

Why has the song exploded in popularity? Perhaps it's the reminder of a promise of freedom, and our place in Heaven as a reward for being devoted to the Lord while on Earth.

Here is a sample of some of the song's lyrics:
Who am I that the highest King would welcome me?
I was lost but He brought me in | Oh His love for me

Who the Son sets free, oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God, yes I am

Free at last, He has ransomed me | His grace runs deep
While I was a slave to sin Jesus died for me

Yes He died for me
Who the Son sets free, oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God, yes I am
In my Father’s house | There’s a place for me

I’m a child of God, yes I am

I am chosen — not forsaken, I am who You say I am
You are for me — not against me, I am who You say I am

Hillsong Worship has shared the heart behind the song.

It comes from John 8, which states that we will know the truth and the truth will set us free. It was Jesus Christ who said, "Who the Son sets free, is free indeed."

Hillsong said it's a real declaration of identity and talks about how a salve has no place in the family. Once we're in God's family we all have an identity of freedom.
