My Worth Is Not In What I Own
by Keith & Kristyn Getty
Theology & Meaning
Reinforces the biblical truth that our identity and worth are rooted in being redeemed by Christ. Counters pride and insecurity alike by declaring that neither accomplishments nor failures define us, but rather the love and sacrifice of Jesus.
Worship Leadership Tips
Consider using this song in services addressing identity, pride, or stewardship. Its reflective nature and moderate pace mean you should articulate lyrics clearly.
Arrangement Tips
A folk or acoustic approach suits it well (guitar, violin, piano). During the final chorus, you might drop instrumentation except a simple strum or pad, allowing voices to carry the confession 'I rejoice in my Redeemer.'
