Intro: D Bm A
G D
It stands to reason that a name is just a word.
G Bm
It can be easily forgotten just as soon as it is heard.
Em D/F#
But one name was spoken before the world's first day
G G
And it will be here when everything that is has passed away.
Chorus
D
Delivered from the lips of God
D/C#
To Mary's ears on angel wings
Bm A
Jesus, Jesus.
D
The word that came to life for us.
D/C#
The song that all creation sings.
Bm A
Jesus, Jesus.
G A Bm
The proudest nations of the earth have come and gone
Em A C G D
But Jesus, the name lives on.
G D
When I'm awakened by a terrifying dream
G Bm
And desperation reaches up and clutches me
Em D/F#
When I am so afraid that I don't know what to pray
G G
I simply speak it and feel it and it chases fear away.
Chorus
C G
Eternal hope and promise, the ever-breaking dawn
Em B
When time itself is over, the name lives on.
