[Question Hook] Whom do men say that He is? A prophet returned? Elijah? John raised from the prison? Whom do ye say that He is? [Answer Chorus] Thou art the Christ, The Son of the living God. Not flesh and blood alone revealed The rock beneath the sod. Thou art the Christ, The promised King made known. A confession stood at Caesarea Before the path toward Jerusalem. [Verse 1] Then He spoke of suffering, Rejection, death, and rising. Peter drew Him back in protest, Unable to receive the timing. The crown he named would pass through sorrow; The road of glory crossed a grave. Human thought desired the kingdom Without the cost by which it saves. [Cost Refrain] Deny the self. Take up the cross. Follow the road Whatever the loss. What profits gaining the whole wide earth If the soul is ruined for lesser worth? [Final Chorus] Thou art the Christ, But confession must learn the way: The King will suffer, die, and rise, And disciples follow day by day. Whom do ye say that He is? The answer asks a life. Thou art the Christ.
