But whom say ye that I am?
Jesus asked the disciples that day.
It’s a question we all must answer,
At least once along life’s way.

Some said John the Baptist;
Who came back from the dead.
Others said another prophet;
Jeremiah or Elijah, instead.

But Peter knew the answer,
“Thou art the Christ, he exclaimed.
“The Son of the living God”
He spoke loudly, unashamed..

We as Christians must be bold;
Like old Simon, son of John.
For God has revealed to us;
Christ, His only begotten Son.

And there’s still many people,
In this old wicked world today.
Who just cannot accept,
The Truth, the Life, the Way.

Just like in the Bible times,
When Jesus walked the earth.
Performed His many miracles,
And preached of spiritual rebirth.

There were some that turned
Their hardened hearts away,
Turned their back on eternal life,
Because of pride in their way.

Today it’s no different,
From the times of old.
They diminish His deity,
And sell out their soul.

Now they say He was married,
To the precious Mary Magdalene!
They say there’s an old mystery,
Now solved on the movie screen.

Can’t you just see that old devil
In all the lies and commotion?
He thinks he’s caused confusion,
With his age-old dirty potion!

It’s the purpose of the devil,
To lead mankind astray.
He’s the very father of lies,
And we are all his prey.

But every knee will surely bow,
And every tongue will confess;
That Christ Jesus is the Lord!
On that day they’ll profess!

And there’s another question
God will ask you from His throne;
“What did you do with my Son,
Accept Him, or live your life alone?”

So who do you say that Jesus was?
Can you call Him your best friend?
Can you say that He’s your Savior?
And on His name you’ll defend?

Was He a good teacher or prophet,
Or was He part of God‘s plan?
I believe He was the living God,
Who came in the form of man.

He had definite purposefulness,
For coming to live among man.
To save our lost souls, to lead us
To the blessed promised land!

Lord, I praise You and I thank You,
For coming and dying for me.
I pray for the misguided ones,
Open their eyes, that they may see…..

Forgive them, sweet Lord Jesus,
For Your name they’ve defiled.
Holy Spirit please lead them,
By the hand as a child……
