Lyrics

Who shakes the prison doors
Until they're wide open
Who calms the raging storm
With a word softly spoken
Who's standing in the fire
Who's rolling stones away


Only one
Only one name


He is the Resurrector, my Redeemer
The enemy He defeated
Life changing, soul saving
Mighty King, I believe it
No other love like His
No other power like this
The only one true God
That's who He is


Who alone is worthy of
All of our worship
Who's seated high above
Holy and perfect
Whose kingdom never ends
Whose glory never fades


Alpha, Omega
Beginning and end
Jesus, Messiah
Has called me His friend
The Lamb and the Lion
Who's coming again
Yahweh, Jehovah
I know that's who He is


He is the
Alpha, Omega
Beginning and end
Jesus, Messiah
Has called me His friend
The Lamb and the Lion
Who's coming again
Yahweh, Jehovah
I know that's who He is
I know that's who He is


The Resurrector, my Redeemer
The enemy He defeated
Life changing, soul saving
Mighty King, I believe it
No other love like His
No other power like this
The only one true God
That's who He is

Meaning & Inspiration

That’s Who He Is gathers biblical names and works of Jesus into a direct confession of faith. Prison doors opening, storms becoming calm, companionship in the fire, and stones being rolled away recall several scriptural scenes without reducing Jesus to a single title. The chorus answers those images by naming him Resurrector, Redeemer, saving King, and the one true God. Its emphasis falls on victory over the enemy and on a love and authority unlike any other.

The later section broadens that confession through the titles Alpha and Omega, Messiah, Lamb, and Lion. These names connect Christ’s saving work with his eternal rule and promised return. Repetition gives the lyric the character of congregational testimony: each title supports the central claim about who Jesus is. The song therefore moves from remembered acts of deliverance to worship, presenting Christ as living, holy, sovereign, and worthy of trust.
