Sanctus Real's song 'You Are the Christ' reflects on Peter's confession that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. The lyrics retell the biblical moment when Jesus asks His disciples who they say He is, and Peter answers with faith. The song then applies that question to listeners, encouraging them to declare Jesus as their Savior and King. It celebrates His victory over death, His power to set captives free, and His identity as the Lion and the Lamb. The repeated affirmation 'You are the Christ' serves as a personal declaration of faith and hope.

There's a story in the Bible
That I need to hear
When I struggle with my doubt
And my future is not clear
The disciples they were walking
With the Son of Man
When He asked a simple question
Who do people say I am?
Some say You are Elijah
Or a prophet from the past
Some say You're John the Baptist
Come back to life again
But Peter had the answer
When Jesus asked how about you
I hope If I'd have been there
I'd have said the same thing too
You are the Christ
The one who is to come
You are Messiah
God's one and only Son
The hope of my salvation
The rock on which I stand
You are
You are
You are
I am
To the weary and the wounded
To the beggar on the street
To the kings inside their castles
To people just like me
He's still asking us this question
Who do you think I am?
I will join with all creation
I will answer back to Him
You are the Christ
The one who is to come
You are Messiah
God's one and only Son
The hope of my salvation
The rock on which I stand
You are
You are
You are
The one who is to come
The lion and the lamb
I am, I am
Who stole the sting of death
Who died and rose again
I am, I am
Who's setting captives free
Who brings our victory
I am, I am
Forever I will sing
To the King of Kings
God of everything
Forever I will sing
You are the Christ
The one who is to come
You are Messiah
God's one and only Son
The hope of my salvation
The rock on which I stand
You are
You are
You are
I am
You are the Christ
The one who is to come
You are Messiah
God's one and only Son
The hope of my salvation
The rock on which I stand
You are
You are
You are
I am
