Editor's note

J'Son's 'Who Is He' asks a cosmic question.

A hip-hop track that wrestles with the idea of God becoming human.

Leave his throne for some skin and bones

J'Son's 'Who Is He' is a 2000s song from the duo of Jason McElderry and Lecrae Moore. It's built around a central paradox: 'god of the universe' choosing to live in 'skin and bones.' The lyric moves from creation to the crucifixion without softening the edges.

The phrase 'Leave his throne for some skin and bones' does the heavy lifting. It's a blunt, physical way to frame the incarnation, stripping away any abstract theology. The song keeps circling back to that basic trade-off.

That line cuts to the core of the song's premise. It makes the divine choice sound shocking and personal, not just a doctrinal point.

It's a rare hip-hop track that spends more time on Christ's hunger and sweat than on personal testimony. The writing feels less like a sermon and more like someone working out a difficult idea in real time.

The way the vocal delivery leans into 'It's hard to live breathing to death' gives the philosophical weight a tangible, almost weary feel.

Lyric sheet

Who Is He

Yeah walked out of his home,

different time zone Lives in eternity,

now he's living in time zones?

This is mind blowin,

god of the universe Knows every star in the sky to my human hurts Made the trees,

made the breeze Made the seas,

emcees like j and me But let me tell you what amazes me How he came as a man who was made to need Hungered and thirsty,

and the very same earth that he cursed He's now fully immersed in Look at his work he's god to be exalted But he came and lived with people falling and faulted I hope you get it homes Only a god who's perfect in love would ever Leave his throne for some skin and bones It's hard to live breathing to death When the same god that made you is breathing your breath Who is he?

God in the flesh who was tested Who came manifested was killed,

resurrected Who are you?

Do you even know who you are?

Created to know the god who created the stars Who is he?

He was,

he is,

he will be Death couldn't hold him and neither shall death seal me Who are you?

You better of never existing if you don't trust the god of the scriptures You listenin?

Can you imagine god in the flesh invisible seen as visible Infinite seeming finite spirit becoming physical Its odd man god man slept and obeyed The earths confines to breathe the very breath that he made He would sweat He would weep Even eat For his hunger Defeat death Within three So we'd see That he's stronger Could give us anything even offer us wealth That wouldn't be love if he ain't offer himself So he stepped down From his throne and removed his crown And touched ground Even though he knew he would be bruised and bound He is that was then next and later on And still is what me and crae can't convey in this song Though,

our minds can never reason his fame The question is do you really see him the same?

And if you see him the same,

as the living god and matchless christ How much do these tunes impact your life?

Who is he?

God in the flesh who was tested Who came manifested was killed,

resurrected Who are you?

Do you even know who you are?

Created to know the god who created the stars Who is he?

He was,

he is,

he will be Death couldn't hold him and neither shall death seal me Who are you?

You better of never existing if you don't trust the god of the scriptures You listenin?
