Heavenly Father
We Love Your precious nameIt 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 awayDelivered from the lips of God
To Mary's ears on angel wings
Jesus, JesusThe word that came to life for us
The song that all creation sings
Jesus, oh, JesusThe proudest nations of the earth
Have come and gone
But Jesus, the name lives onWhen 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 how to pray
I simply speak it and I feel it and it chases fear awayDelivered from the lips of God
To Mary's ears on angel wings
Jesus, sweet JesusThe word that came to life for us
The song that all creation sings
Jesus, oh, JesusThe proudest nations of the earth
Have come and gone
But Jesus, the name lives onEternal hope and promise
The ever breaking dawn
When time itself is over
The name lives onDelivered from the lips of God
To Mary's ears on angel wings
JesusThe word that came to life for us
The song that all creation sings
Jesus, sweet JesusThe proudest nations of the earth
Have come and gone
But Jesus, the name lives onThe proudest nations of the earth
Have come and gone
But Jesus, the name lives on
