Intro: D# Cm A#
D# A#
It stands to reason that a name is just a word.
D# Gm
It can be easily forgotten just as soon as it is heard.
Cm A#/D
But one name was spoken before the world's first day
D# D#
And it will be here when everything that is has passed away.
A#
Delivered from the lips of God
F
To Mary's ears on angel wings
Gm F
Jesus, Jesus.
A#
The word that came to life for us.
F
The song that all creation sings.
Gm F
Jesus, Jesus.
D# F Gm
The proudest nations of the earth have come and gone
Cm F G# D# A#
But Jesus, the name lives on.
D# A#
When I'm awakened by a terrifying dream
D# Gm
And desperation reaches up and clutches me
Cm A#/D
When I am so afraid that I don't know what to pray
D# D#
I simply speak it and feel it and it chases fear away.
G# D#
Eternal hope and promise, the ever-breaking dawn
Cm G
When time itself is over, the name lives on.
Chorus:
