lyrics

"You Are The Christ"
from "Wise As Serpents...Gentle As A Dove" album.

Jesus and the twelve were walking down the road one day
He asked them who do people say I am?
They told him the things they'd heard in towns along the way
And how his name had spread throughout the land
He listened to their answers
But as he did he knew
That the greater truth about him had been missed
And when they'd stopped their talking
Jesus asked them, how 'bout you?
That's when Simon Peter said something like this

(Chorus)
Jesus we (I) believe you are the Christ
Everything has changed since you came into our (my) lives (life)
And we (I) don't care what people say
We're (I'm) gonna follow in your way
Jesus we (I) believe you are the Christ

I still hear his question, who do people say I am?
I've listened to the answers people give
Some say Jesus was no more than a charismatic man
And others have their doubts he even lived
Some say he was a teacher
Of some sound philosophy
Who's enjoyed a trumped up place in history
And some say he was a dreamer
Who was dangerously naive
But there's only one response that speaks for me

(Repeat Chorus using singular form)
