(Matthew 16:13-20; Mark 8:27-30; John 6:66-68, 8:31-32; Luke 20:20-21)
Bold things are what Jesus has said
Bold guy, turnin' tables and heads
They've taken shots against us before
But I ain't doubtin' Him anymore — folks ask me
Just how I know — my heart and my soul got to thinkin'
He'll say words they're gonna reject
Don't fret — oh, why the rush to defect?
I've heard their accusations before
But I have gobs of faith in the Lord — no leavin'
Though some men were spies, the humble and wise ones receive Him
I have been eyeing this guy — looking at clues
I can see the signs
My Man's a breaker of rules — really, it's cool
Liking Jesus Christ
And I don't need to see any more to know that
Christ can heal the blind (Looking at clues)
Christ can free your mind (Looking at clues)
Christ completes the signs (Looking at clues)
Christ could be divine
Though we all salute Him, He's kind
Don't sigh — I ain't changin' my mind
Won't find another who's like the Lord
So I am gonna live as a core believer
Simon don't lie — and now the Messiah calls me Peter
I have been eyeing this guy — looking at clues
I can see the signs
My Man's a breaker of rules — really, it's cool
Liking Jesus Christ
And I don't need to see any more to know that
Christ can heal the blind (Looking at clues)
Christ can free your mind (Looking at clues)
Christ completes the signs (Looking at clues)
Christ could be divine
I have been eyeing this guy — looking at clues
I can see the signs
My Man's a breaker of rules — really, it's cool
Liking Jesus Christ
And I don't need to see any more to know that
Christ can heal the blind (Looking at clues)
Christ can free your mind (Looking at clues)
Christ completes the signs (Looking at clues)
Christ could be divine
Matthew 16:16
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
