The Name Lives On

Heavenly Father

We heard Your precious name

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
