It stands to reason that a name is just a word It can be easily forgotten 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, oh, 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 even know what to pray I simply speak it and I feel it and it chases fear away
Delivered from the lips of God To Mary's ears on angel wings Jesus, sweet Jesus
The word that came to life for us The song that all creation sings Jesus, oh, Jesus
The proudest nations of the earth Have come and gone But Jesus, the name lives on
Eternal hope and promise The ever breaking dawn When time itself is over The name lives on
Delivered from the lips of God To Mary's ears on angel wings Jesus
The word that came to life for us The song that all creation sings Jesus, sweet Jesus
The proudest nations of the earth Have come and gone But Jesus, the name lives on
The proudest nations of the earth Have come and gone But Jesus, the name lives on
