YouTube Video: Whom Say Ye That I Am? choral

Text:
“Whom say men that I am?” Our Savior asked one day.
When He taught in times of old, many souls would stray.
For thinking He must be the Baptist brought to life,
Or a prophet from the dead, some believed these lies.

“Whom say ye that I am?” when asking Peter there,
Brought an answer filled with truth many souls would share.
“Thou art our righteous Christ, the Son of living God.”
Peter shared as testament; not a word was flawed.

First Chorus:
Thou art the Christ, the Son of living God.
How blessed he was, for flesh and blood had not revealed it there.
But Father God, conveyed this truth to him.
How blessed he was to know because he knew his Father’s care.

“Whom say ye that I am?” Christ asks us each new day.
Can we answer truthfully and our acts convey?
He is our righteous Lord, granting love with grace
As He waits so patiently for our sure embrace.

Second Chorus:
Thou art the Christ, the Son of living God.
How blessed we are to know from far our Savior reigns above.
Our Father God, conveys this truth to us.
How blessed we feel to know He’s real and we can share his love.
