Luke 9
Verse 1 —
He gathered the Twelve, gave power and word
Authority given to heal and restore
“Take nothing extra — trust the way
Preach the Kingdom, do not stay
Heal the sick, cast fear away
Shake the dust where hearts won’t stay”
Verse 2 —
Herod heard what people said
“John is risen from the dead”
Some said Elijah walked again
Others named another man
But questions stirred where power grew
No one knew what to do with You
Chorus — Who Do You Say I Am?
Voices rise, opinions stand
But truth is not by popular demand
The question waits through every age
Who do you say I am?
Verse 3 —
They returned and told Him all
Crowds still followed every call
Late grew the day, the people weak
“Send them home,” the disciples speak
“You feed them,” He calmly said
Five loaves raised, the bread was spread
Hands were filled, no one went away
Twelve baskets left at end of day
Verse 4 —
Alone in prayer, He turned to them
“Who do crowds say that I am?”
Answers echoed what was known
“But you?” — the silence grown
Peter spoke what faith revealed
“You are God’s Christ,” truth unsealed
Chorus
You are the Christ, the promised One
Yet the road ahead has just begun
Not crowned yet, the cost is near
Messiah walks through suffering here
Verse 5 —
He spoke of rejection, death, and pain
Of rising life that loss would gain
“If you follow, deny your way
Take up your cross each passing day
What you save, you’ll surely lose
What you give, you’ll truly choose”
Verse 6 —
Eight days passed, the mountain climbed
Peter, James, and John beside
His face shone bright, His clothes aflame
Moses, Elijah spoke His name
A voice declared from heaven’s cloud
“This is My Son — listen now”
Verse 7 —
Down the mountain, crowds in need
A child bound, no help agreed
Faith had failed, confusion stirred
Jesus spoke, the spirit fled
Power flowed where trust was thin
“Anything is possible — believe again”
Verse 8 —
He spoke again of death to come
They didn’t ask, their hearts still numb
They argued who was truly great
He placed a child before their gaze
“Whoever serves the least you see
Is the one who walks with Me”
Verse 9 —
As days drew near to face the end
He set His face toward Jerusalem
Some would follow, some delay
He named the cost along the way
No turning back, no borrowed ground
The Kingdom moves — but counts the cost
On the way, the truth is clear
Glory waits, but the cross is near
To follow Him is to obey
Losing life to find the way
Outro
He set His face, the road was drawn
The journey changed
