There’s Something About That Name

 The name of Jesus is a name that thrills the soul of the believer.

A name at which the devils tremble. 


A name that gains man access to the God of Glory. 


A name that moves mountains. 


A name that convicts the sinner. 


A name that opens the door to the blessings of God. 


A name that is above every name. 

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.


Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.


Among many, this is my favorite song. I can’t help but worship Jesus when I play it during offertory.


There’s Something About that Name

_____________________________


Jesus, Jesus, Jesus;     —   there's just something about that name.    —   Master, Savior, Jesus,   —   like the fragrance after the rain;    —  Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,    —    let all Heaven and earth proclaim.    —   Kings and kingdoms will all pass away,    —   But there's something about that name.

***Jesus***

 The mere mention of His name can calm the storm,    —   Heal the broken,    —   Raise the dead.


At the name of Jesus I've seen sin hardened men melted,    —   Derelicts transformed;    —   I've seen the lights of hope put back in the eyes of a hopeless child;


I've heard a Mother softly breathe His name at the bedside of a child delirious with fever,    —   And I've watched that little body grow quiet, the fevered brow cool.


I've sit by a dying friend, —  Her body wracked with pain, —  Who in those last, final fleeting seconds,    —   Summoned her last ounce of strength to whisper earths' sweetest name,


***Jesus***

Emperors have tried to destroy it,    —   Philosophies have tried to stamp it out,    —   Tyrants have tried to wash it from the face of the earth with the very blood of those who claimed it,    —   Yet, the name of Jesus stands.


And there shall be in that final day,    —  When every voice that has ever uttered a sound,    —   Every voice of Adams race,    —   Shall join in one great might chorus,    —   To proclaim the name of Jesus.


Every knee shall bow,  —  and every tongue shall confess that,    —   Jesus Christ is Lord.


So you see it was not mere chance,    —   That caused the Angel one night long ago,    —   To say to the virgin maiden,  — His name shall be called Jesus.


***Jesus***

You know,    —   There is something about that name.


Kings and kingdoms shall all pass away,    —   But there's something about that name.
