It stands to reason that a name is just a word.

It can be easily forgotten just as soon as it is heard.

But one name was spoken before the world's first day

And it will be here when everything that is has passed away.


Chorus 


Delivered from the lips of God

To Mary's ears on angel wings

Jesus, Jesus.

The word that came to life for us. 

The song that all creation sings.

Jesus, Jesus.

The proudest nations of the earth have come and gone

But Jesus, the name lives on.


When I'm awakened by a terrifying dream

And desperation reaches up and clutches me

When I am so afraid that I don't know what to pray

I simply speak it and feel it and it chases fear away.


Chorus 


Eternal hope and promise, the ever-breaking dawn

When time itself is over, the name lives on.
