Some say John.
Some say Elijah.
Some say a prophet has returned.
Some Jeremiah.
How about you?
Tell me if you can.
Won’t you stand and testify who you say I Am.
You are the Christ.
God’s only Son.
You are the One who paid the price.
You are the Holy One.
You are the Christ.
You’re my Savior.
You are the Christ.
You are Jesus.
Some say you’re just a teacher.
Some say you’re a holy man.
Some say you’re a blasphemer.
I know you’re the Great I Am.
Some say you’re just a schemer.
Some say you’re a crazy man.
Some say you’re just a dreamer.
I know you’re the Spotless Lamb.
Some say John.
Some say Elijah.
Some say a prophet has returned.
Some Jeremiah.
How about you?
Tell me if you can.
Won’t you stand and testify who you say I Am.
You are the Christ.
God’s only Son.
You are the One who paid the price.
You are the Holy One.
You are the Christ.
You’re my Savior.
You are the Christ.
You are Jesus.
Inspiration
I read Matthew one day. I thought, “Jesus asks us all this question.” “Who do You say that I Am.”
Matthew 16:13-16
13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” 16Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
