Song background:

My eldest daughter is in her last year in primary. She has a huge heart, a heart that is easily overwhelmed by the demands already on her young life. Maybe you can relate? I certainly can. Its's in times like this that I think we need to remember who we are and Who is on or side and have confidence in Divine support and power.

I was ready to give up writing music. As much as I LOVE to write it, sharing it is a trauma haha! I was folding laundry one morning and I'd been pondering on President Nelson's reminder to the young adults: I am a child of God, I am a child of the covenant, I am a disciple of Christ. Said daughter was playing a preogression of piano cords, and a melody struck my. It was one of those experiences where heaven sends a loud and clear message. I knew I had to write a song that touch on our identity and the 2024 youth theme: I Am A Disciple of Christ.

I dedicate this song to the young women of the Ipswich England Stake

Lyrics: Who I Want To Be

VERSE 1
The world, it talks so loud;
Competing voices all telling me who I should be.
I try to shut them out
And to remember my divine identity,
And who I chose to follow, and whose I am.

CHORUS
I'm a disciple of Christ,
A child of God, a child of the cov'nant.
I follow Jesus Christ
I know who I am and the Lord has put His trust in me.
His light I'll share with others.
Just like my Saviour is who I want to be.

VERSE 2
The Spirit calls to me;
His gentle voice whispers, telling me who I could be.
I pray so desp’rately
For faith to rise up and to claim my destiny.
For Christ I choose to follow,
Through Him I'm free.

BRIDGE
Sometimes I listen to those voices that say I'm not enough
And that I should just give up and give in.
But in such times of doubt and fear I
Feel my Saviour close by
Always by my side.

I am a disciple, a child of God,
And I've made promises with Him.
I follow Jesus, He is my Saviour.
He hears me.
He trusts me.

CHORUS
I'm a disciple of Christ,
A child of God, a child of the cov'nant.
I follow Jesus Christ.
I know who I am and the Lord has put His trust in me.
His light I'll share with others.
Just like my Saviour is who I want to be.
Who I'm meant to be.
