This song and its title were inspired by the emphatic words of Jesus that rings for some 2000 years since he said on three different occassions "Whom do you seek?" (John 18;7; 20:15; Matthew 11:9; Luke 7:26)
lyrics
WHOM DO YOU SEEK?
Whom do you seek?
What did you go out to see?
Were you looking for a prophet?
Were you looking for a sign?
Were you looking for to profit
From this very space and time?
Were you looking for a savior -
One who blows your mind?
So your heart and soul won't fail you
When you’re standing all alone
And the judgment is mine!.
Whom do you seek?
What did you come out to see?
Were you looking for a prophet
One who sells your lie?
Were you looking for a puppet for your alibis?
Were you looking for a healer to soothe your sickly soul?
One who won't let go
when its time to go
To the starry host of old
Or the valley below!
Whom do you seek?
What did you come out to see?
If being here and leaving here means nothing more than me,
Whom do you seek?
If being here and leaving here means nothing more than me,
Whom do you seek?
What did you come out to see?
Whom do you seek?
He is not here, He is risen - but living in me
