Sanctus Real releases 'You Are I Am' declaration

Press Release

Two-time Grammy-nominated, GMA Dove Award-winning and RIAA Gold-selling Sanctus Real releases “You Are I Am” today at streaming and digital outlets worldwide from Framework Records / The Fuel Music via https://slinky.to/YouAreIAm. This new song and band’s recent release, “The Difference,” are also going for radio adds June 25 and follow the recent digital single “On The Mend,” eight No. 1 songs and 19 Top 10 radio hits.

“The Difference” continues to resonate with music fans as Sanctus Real offers the bold, worshipful declaration, “You Are I Am.”

“C.S. Lewis made a very important point in talking of Jesus. He said Jesus can only be one of three things: a liar, a madman, or he has to be God,” lead vocalist Dustin Lolli said. “Today, believers in Jesus fight over so many things, but there is one thing that should not be debated, fought over, or ever challenged – that he is who says he is.”

“We wanted to make a sincere declaration about who we believe Jesus to be,” guitarist Chris Rohman added. “He is not just a teacher; he understands all things. He is not just a prophet; he is the actual word of God. He is not just a giver of hope; he is our hope.”

“He is the one upon whom all of history has been pointing to,” drummer Mark Graalman said. “We hope you sing this with us. You are I am!”

(Chorus) “You are the Christ // The one who is to come // You are Messiah // God’s one and only Son // The hope of my salvation // The rock on which I stand // You Are // You Are // You Are // I Am.”
