Other
More Than Just a Story
This song was inspired by the Discipleship Academy Joseph's Thought, "Who Do You Say That I Am?." It reflects the message that this song explores the foundational question of who Jesus is to the individual, emphasizing that a personal answer to this question shapes one's entire faith journey and understanding of Christianity.
Lyrics
Verse 1
He walked upon the earth, a teacher wise and kind Stories told for ages, echoing through time Some say a prophet, others just a man But He looked into my eyes, and asked a different plan
Chorus
More than just a story, more than words I've heard He's asking my own heart, for a personal word Who do I say He is? Beyond what others see Lord, who are You, truly, to me?
Verse 2
Foundation for this journey, where everything must stand Not what I've learned or studied, but the answer in my hand If He's just history's figure, then my faith begins to sway But if He's Son of God, He changes every day
Chorus
More than just a story, more than words I've heard He's asking my own heart, for a personal word Who do I say He is? Beyond what others see Lord, who are You, truly, to me?
Bridge
It's not enough to know facts, or repeat what others say This question calls me deeper, at the close of every day My life will rise or fall, on the truth I find in You Savior, God, and Risen Lord, my answer rings so true
Chorus
More than just a story, more than words I've heard He's asking my own heart, for a personal word Who do I say He is? Beyond what others see Lord, who are You, truly, to me?
Outro
Who are You to me? My Savior, my King, eternally.
