A song our church was recently introduced to has been floating through my head all week. The tune is delightful. It’s the words though that have captured my attention and made it all the more worth while having stuck in my head. So few songs it seems now have the actual name of Jesus in it, or if they do it’s not very often repeated. This isn’t bad in and of itself for Jesus to be implied but I do appreciate when songs are unambiguous for whom they are speaking.
There is power in the name of Jesus, strong loving spiritual power. May we ever have His name on our lips, to keep our gaze on Him so we may live ever more in line with bringing Him glory. (Hebrews 12:1-2)
Below are the lyrics to “I Speak Jesus” and here is a link to a version you can listen to as well. I hope this lovely song blesses you as well.
I just wanna speak the name of Jesus
Over every heart and every mind
‘Cause I know there is peace within Your presence
I speak JesusI just wanna speak the name of Jesus
‘Til every dark addiction starts to break
Declaring there is hope and there is freedom
I speak Jesus‘Cause Your name is power
Your name is healing
Your name is life
Break every stronghold
Shine through the shadows
Burn like a fireI just wanna speak the name of Jesus
Over fear and all anxiety
To every soul held captive by depression
I speak Jesus‘Cause Your name is power
Your name is healing
Your name is life
Break every stronghold
Shine through the shadows
Burn like the fireShout Jesus from the mountains
Jesus in the streets
Jesus in the darkness over every enemy
Jesus for my family
I speak the holy name
Jesus, ohShout Jesus from the mountains
Jesus in the streets
Jesus in the darkness over every enemy
Jesus for my family
I speak the holy name
Jesus (Jesus)‘Cause Your name is power
Your name is healing
Your name is life
Break every stronghold
Shine through the shadows
Burn like a fireYour name is power (Your name is power)
Your name is healing (Your name is healing)
Your name is life (You are my life)
Break every stronghold (break every stronghold)
Shine through the shadows
Burn like a fireI just wanna speak the name of Jesus
