Aaron Shust's song 'My Messiah' is a declaration of faith in Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of the living God. The lyrics contrast popular opinions about Jesus—some calling Him Elijah, Jeremiah, or a good man—with the personal confession that He is the Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The song emphasizes Jesus as the solid rock and hope, and celebrates the building of His church and kingdom, which the gates of hell cannot overcome. It is a straightforward affirmation of belief and trust in Christ's identity and mission.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Some say You're Elijah
At least that's what I heard the people say
Some say Jeremiah
Or John the Baptist risen from the grave
Then You turned and looked at me
Asking "What do you believe?"
You're the Messiah, the Son of the Living God
You're the Messiah, my Hope and my Solid Rock
And You've given us the keys
That's what I believe
That's what I believe
Some say You're a good man
Full of grace and truth and charity
Some say You're a liar
A lunatic hellbent on heresy
But to me You are the Christ
You're the Way the Truth the Life
You're the Messiah, the Son of the Living God
You're the Messiah, my Hope and my Solid Rock
And You've given us the keys
That's what I believe
That's what I believe
You are building Your Church
You are building Your Kingdom
And the Gates of Hell will not prevail against it
You are building Your Church
You are building Your Kingdom
And the Gates of Hell will not prevail against it
You're the Messiah, the Son of the Living God
I know that You're the Messiah, my Hope and my Solid Rock
And You've given us the keys
That's what I believe. That's what I believe.
That's what I believe. That's what I believe.
That's what I believe
