Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm amazed at this teacher
Carpenter, preacher
Lost in the crowd, I hear him now
He's praying and He's saying, God feed them all
Five thousand men, all of His friends
Are worried find bread and hurry
Five loaves and fish, what can He wish
Could He be the Messiah
Miracle man, part of the plan
Could He be the Messiah
Life in His hand
I understand He could be
Meet for our needs fully
He feeds our hunger older and younger
Twelve baskets more, can we ignore
He shows us that He knows us, is He the Christ
God in His eyes, I realize His power, need of the hour
Jesus is His name, they say He came to feed us
And to receive us, is He the Christ
Could He be the Messiah
Miracle man, part of the plan
Could He be the Messiah
Life in His hand
I understand He could be
It is He the Messiah
Miracle man, part of the plan
It is He the Messiah
Life in His hand
I understand it is He
Could He be the Messiah
Miracle man, part of the plan
Could He be the Messiah
Life in His hand
I understand He could be

The singer questions if Jesus could be the Messiah, the miracle man, the one who holds life in his hand. He understands that he could be the One.
The second verse explains how Jesus feeds not only the five thousand men but also women and children. He provides them with twelve baskets more, symbolizing a blessing for each tribe of Israel. The singer realizes the power of Jesus, and his faith grows as he knows that Jesus is capable of meeting their needs. The people start to say that Jesus is the Christ, the one who came to feed them and receive them. The singer confirms that it is really this man, Jesus, who is the Messiah, the miracle man, the one with life in his hand.
