Jesus Christ
I cannot live without You
Righteous one
I cannot live without You
Holy one, I cannot live without You
If You leave me I will die
If You leave me I will suffer
Jesus Christ
I cannot live without You
Awesome wonder
I cannot live without You
Holy one, I cannot live without You
If You leave me I will die
If You leave me I will suffer (x3)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I cannot live without You
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I cannot live without You
Oh, oh, oh, I cannot live without You
If You leave me I will die
If You leave me I will suffer
Chorus:
{ You won’t leave me, You won’t leave me
You won’t leave me

You never let me suffer
Savior, provider, healer
You never let me down
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
You never let me down
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
You never let me down
(repeat *2)
Holy one, I cannot do without You
Righteous one
I cannot live without You
The one I love,
I cannot live without You
Can’t You see
You cannot do without Him
He’s the righteous one
You are not holy without Him
He’s the holy one
You cannot do without Him
If he leaves You, You’re a mess
You won’t leave me, You won’t leave me
You won’t leave me
That’s what You said
That’s what You said

Meaning & Inspiration
Minister GUC's "What He Says," released on December 4, 2020, as part of his album "The Message," is a profound declaration of utter dependence and unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. This song isn't just a collection of lyrics; it’s a heartfelt testimony, a spiritual lifeline articulated through powerful, raw emotion. At its core, the message is a direct address to God, emphasizing that life itself is unimaginable and unsustainable without His presence. The repetition of "I cannot live without You" is not mere emphasis; it’s a desperate plea, echoing the sentiment of scripture like Psalm 42:1, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God." This isn't a casual preference; it's an existential need. The lyrics articulate a deep understanding that without Christ, there is only death and suffering, a stark reminder of our fallen state and the redemptive power He alone provides.
The song beautifully transitions into a confident affirmation of God's faithfulness, directly referencing His promises. The chorus, "You won’t leave me, You won’t leave me, That’s what You said," speaks to the core of Christian hope, grounded in the assurance of God's covenant love. This resonates with numerous biblical passages, most notably Jesus' own words in Matthew 28:20, "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." The inclusion of Igbo lyrics, "Igaghi arapum, igaghi arapum, Owu ihie ikwuru," which translates to "You will not leave me, You will not leave me, That is what You said," further solidifies this message of divine commitment, demonstrating that this assurance transcends language barriers. It highlights that God's promises are not just spoken but are the very foundation of His word.
Minister GUC’s raw vocal delivery amplifies the sincerity of the message. The spoken declarations and even the moments of speaking in tongues underscore a personal, unmediated encounter with the divine. The lines "You never let me suffer" and "You never let me down" are not idle boasts but are rooted in the experience of divine intervention and steadfast love, reflecting the character of God as revealed throughout the Bible. The song challenges listeners directly with "Can’t You see You cannot do without Him?" This call to self-reflection is powerful, urging an honest assessment of one's own reliance. It mirrors the prophetic warnings and exhortations found in scripture, reminding us that our holiness and completeness are found solely in Him, as stated in Colossians 2:10, "and in Christ you have been brought to fullness." "What He Says" is a potent anthem for anyone who has experienced the transformative power of Christ, a reminder that He is not merely a part of life, but life itself.
