Who do you say that I am?
When I was hungry, you gave me food
When I was thirsty, you gave me water,
When I was cold, you gave me warmth,
When I was naked, you gave me clothes.
Who do you say that I am?
When you were sick, I comforted you.
When you were afraid, I gave you support.
When you were unsure, I encouraged you.
When you grieved, I grieved with you.
Who do you say that I am?
When I was a stranger, you welcomed me.
When I was blind, you helped me to see.
When I was deaf, you helped me to hear.
When I was injured, you cared for me.
Who do you say that I am?
When you were in prison, I was there too.
When you were insulted I felt the pain.
When you were laughed at I stood by your side.
When they threw stones I was your shield.
Who do you say that I am?
When I was tired, you gave me rest.
When I was lonely, you were with me.
When I was angry, you listened to me.
When I was lost, you looked for me.
Who do you say that I am?
When you were wrong, I told you.
When you saw pain and did nothing, I reached out to you.
When you saw me lying by the road and you walked by on the other side, I cried for you.
When you were guilty, I died for you.
Who do you say that I am?
Who do you say that I am?
Our response to that question will help us decide whether we take up the cross and follow Jesus, and it will influence the way in which we become the blood and body of Christ in the world around us.
