Who do men say I am?
Jesus looked at His disciples
With loving eyes to see
To them who could He be
Some say Thou art Elias
Some are saying
A major prophet from on high
But with those same loving eyes He asked
Whom say ye that I am?
This the Son of Man
Truly Thou art the Christ
The Son of God who reigns supreme
And lives above
And upon the rock
He built His church
And to Peter He gave the key
Through his blood all men
On earth could be set free

He told them much later
He had to die
This is why He came
And the reason why
He would explain

Because of the price of Adam's sin
I'll deliver My life to sinful man
The prophets have spoken concerning Me
I do this through My love
I'll redeem lost man with My blood
But if I be lifted up
I will draw all men to me
With my resurrection power
Men will know throughout the land
The Messiah from on high
Is who I am
So it pleased the Lord to bruise Him
And we esteemed Him smitten
Of God and afflicted
By His stripes we're healed
By His blood we'll overcome
