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.

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.

Eternal hope and promise, the ever-breaking dawn
When time itself is over, the name lives on.
