Stedfastt - Messiah Lyrics

Behold the Messiah, who's risen, ascended
To the right hand of God, no higher position
He came on a mission, by His own volition
Took on the form of a man, listen
Ladies and gents, to you I present
The greatest story ever told
Ladies and gents, to you I present
The greatest story ever told

Let me tell you bout the one that I trust in
High King of heaven, pens won't do Him justice
First of all, the subject is paramount
Of utmost importance, I give an accurate account
The LORD sent prophets to announce His coming
Last one before He came ate locust and honey
His name John the Baptist, his message stunning
Calling men to repent like Noah, pre flooding
Filled with the Spirit, preparing hearts for the King of Kings
The Nazarene not yet on the seen
A Savior was promised and Israel awaited
When John saw Him comin', he said in amazement
Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
John came baptizing that He might be revealed
Son of Man, Son of God, that's two of His titles
The Christ had arrived, John was not there to rival

Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi
He was asking His disciples
Who do people say that the Son of Man is?
Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah
And others Jeremiah or one of the prophets
But who do you say that I am?
You are the Christ, the Son of the living God

Behold the Lamb of God astounding folks with His miracles
Jesus of Nazareth, supernatural, surreal
Fulfillment of prophecy, majestic, imperial
Mass crowds flock, surrounding Israel's pinnacle
The promised Messiah taught and pittied them
Yahweh Shalom, the peace of Gideon
Down from His throne, for our sake humiliated
God's only Son, mission initiated
Planned redemption, through perfect obedience
Death on a cross beam, a cursed medium
He was bruised for our transgressions
Persistent rebellion
His death foretold, protoevangelium
Buried in a tomb, He was dead but He rose again
God's power on display, death couldn't hold Him in
The Christ gave His life as a ransom for many men
That we might be saved from sins penalty in the end

Whoo!
That's all she wrote!

Behold the Messiah, who's risen, ascended
To the right hand of God, no higher position
He came on a mission, by His own volition
Took on the form of a man, listen
Ladies and gents, to you I present
The greatest story ever told
Ladies and gents, to you I present
The greatest story ever told

So what does it mean to believe that Jesus is the Messiah
The Son of God?
It's not just: I love His teachings and I follow Him
It is this: I have nothing
I have no righteousness, I have no hope
Except what God did for me on Calvary
And in the resurrection of Christ from the dead
That is my hope
