The Name Lives On

[Intro]  Em C Em C

C                                 
It stands to reason that a name is
         G
 just a word.
           C                  Gm
It can be easily forgotten just as 
soon as it is heard.
    Am                             
But one name was spoken before the 
  G/B
world's first day
                C                  
And it will be here when everything
          C
 that is has passed away.

Chorus

G
Delivered from the lips of God
D/F#
To Mary's ears on angel wings
Em     D
Jesus, Jesus.
G
The word that came to life for us.
D/#
The song that all creation sings.
Em     D
Jesus, Jesus.
              C                  
The proudest nations of the earth 
         D        Em
have come and gone
    Am D                   F C G
But Jesus, the name lives on.
