lyrics

Verse 1:
Words that I could just begin to comprehend:
"You shall no more cast your nets for fish, but fish for men..."
Could it be that I am chosen to deliver His appeal?
"Follow Me and learn the kingdom of the Lord is very near..."

Verse 2:
I recall my first encounter with this Sage,
At my mother's house as the life drained from her face.
In His eyes I saw the power to rebuke her fever.
My surprise when she arose and went to make us dinner!

Chorus:
Who is He who with one word subdues the stormy skies,
Heals the sick, revives the dead, and opens blinded eyes?
Speaks with such authority, no voice of man,
But from the mouth of God.

Verse 3:
Drawing multitudes with riddles and with rhymes,
But in His presence, there was hope, there was life!
Chains were broken, lives made whole, and good news preached to every man.
How can wonders such as these be the work of a carpenter's hand?

Chorus:
Who is He who with one word subdues the stormy skies,
Heals the sick, revives the dead, and opens blinded eyes?
Speaks with such authority, no voice of man,
But from the mouth of God.

Bridge:
O the wonders I have witnessed,
But o the blunders; how could I have missed this?
Mixing justice with compassion,
Feeding thousands with a young boy's ration.
Spouting drivel of the need to die on Calvary,
I try to disagree, and He yells, "Satan, get behind me!"
I want to build Him a shrine, but He stoops to wash my feet.
I just don't understand what it is He sees in me...

How can I go with the One who walks the road to heaven?
"Tell me, Simon. How do you give answer to this question?"

Chorus:
Who is He who with one word subdues the stormy skies,
Heals the sick, revives the dead, and opens blinded eyes?
No Elijah, nor the Prophet.
He could only be the Son of God.

Revelation from the Father, not through flesh and blood.
Our Redeemer, God is with Us,
Jesus Christ, the only Son of God.
