Lyrics
Who is this Jesus?
Who is this man?
Who's seen me at my worst
And loves me as I am
Who is this Jesus?
Who calls my name?
To come and follow him
And leave behind my shame
This is what mercy looks like
This is where freedom lives
I want more
More of who Jesus is
Who is this Jesus?
Arms open wide
The only saving name
The desperate heart can cry
Friend of the fearful
Unfailing hope
The promise we will never have to walk alone
He is the promise we will never have to walk alone
This is what mercy looks like
And this is where freedom lives
I want more
More of who Jesus is
The lamb of God
The prince of peace
Could it be
He's who he says he is?
The Lord of all
King of Kings
Could it be
He's who he says he is?
The lamb of God
The prince of peace
Could it be
He's who he says he is?
The Lord of all
King of Kings
Could it be
He's who he says he is?
If this is what mercy looks like
This is where freedom lives
I want more
More of who Jesus is
I want more
More of who Jesus is

Meaning & Inspiration
“Who Jesus Is” builds its reflection through questions about Christ’s identity and the mercy found in him. Jesus is portrayed as the one who sees human failure without withdrawing his love, calls people by name, removes shame, and receives desperate hearts. The repeated desire for more of Christ makes the chorus a prayerful response to grace rather than a search for abstract knowledge. Freedom is located in knowing the person and saving work of Jesus.
The bridge gathers several biblical titles: Lamb of God, Prince of Peace, Lord of all, and King of Kings. Each title adds weight to the central question of whether Jesus is who he says he is, while the refrain answers through trust in his mercy and presence. The promise of not walking alone also places hope alongside salvation. In this way, the song moves from vulnerability and fear toward confession, presenting Christ as Savior, companion, and reigning Lord.
