Lyrics
He will change your life and set your spirit free
Have you met the man of Galilee
Who claims to be the living way
Have you seen the look of love He gives
Or sensed the power His words convey
Have you met the man of Galilee
Who calls Himself the of Son of God
Have you followed Him to Calvary
Or traced the path His steps had trod
Once you've met the Galilean
He who calms the storm, made blinded eyes to see
You will never be the same again
He will change your life and set your spirit free
For you will never be the same again
He will change your life and set your spirit free
Spirit free

Meaning & Inspiration
“The Galilean” presents Jesus through questions that invite consideration of his identity, words, compassion, and work at Calvary. The title places the focus on the man from Galilee, while the verses identify him as the living way and the Son of God. Images of calming a storm and restoring sight connect his authority with mercy. The recurring declaration that an encounter with him changes a life gives the song the character of a gospel invitation rather than a detached account of biblical events.
Several lines closely echo the Gospel narratives. In John 14:6, Jesus identifies himself as the way, the truth, and the life. Mark 4:39 records him rebuking the wind and calming the sea, and John 9 recounts his healing of a man born blind. Together, these references support the lyric’s portrait of Jesus as Savior, healer, and Lord. The conclusion emphasizes spiritual freedom and lasting transformation as the proper response to the Galilean.
