Tasha Cobbs Leonard - The Name of Our God Lyrics
Lyrics
Oh oh oh, no other name
Oh, the name of Jesus
Oh oh oh, no other name
Oh, the name of Jesus
On Christ the solid rock I stand
No other help I know
All other ground is sinking sand
I trust in you alone
Where fear is great
Our God is greater
We stand unshakable
In the name, in the name of our God
In the name, in the name of our God
All mountains be moved
Chains now be loosed
In the name, in the name of our God
On Christ the solid rock I stand
No other help I know
All other ground is sinking sand
I trust in you alone
Where fear is great
Our God is greater
We stand unshakable
In the name, in the name of our God
In the name, in the name of our God
All mountains be moved
Chains now be loosed
In the name, in the name of our God

In the name, in the name of our God

Tasha Cobbs Leonard - The Name Of Our God
Meaning & Inspiration
Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s "The Name of Our God," a highlight from her *Heart. Passion. Pursuit. (Deluxe Edition)* album, which debuted on August 25, 2017, is far more than just a melody; it’s a profound declaration of faith. This powerful anthem immediately immerses us in the unwavering truth that there is no other name carrying the authority, comfort, and salvation found in Jesus. It’s a spiritual anchor, reminding us to fix our gaze on the divine amidst life’s inevitable storms, drawing strength from an eternal source.
The song firmly establishes its foundation with the resonant line, "On Christ the solid rock I stand, no other help I know." This evokes the timeless wisdom found in Matthew 7:24-27, where Jesus himself likens a wise builder to one who builds their house on solid rock, enduring life's floods and winds, unlike the foolish builder on sinking sand. Spiritually, this rock is none other than Christ, as 1 Corinthians 10:4 confirms, presenting Him as the spiritual rock from which God's people received sustenance. This opening serves as an immediate and potent reminder that all human efforts or worldly systems are ultimately unstable, offering only temporary solutions, while genuine, enduring stability is found solely in trust in God.
As the narrative unfolds, the lyrics tackle the human experience of fear head-on: "Where fear is great, Our God is greater." This isn’t a trite dismissal of apprehension but a bold assertion of divine supremacy over any earthly anxiety or challenge. It aligns perfectly with Isaiah 41:10, which reassures us, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Similarly, Psalm 46:1 proclaims, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." This unwavering truth empowers us to stand "unshakable," not through our own might, but through the indwelling power and presence of an omnipotent God, echoing Philippians 4:6-7, which urges us to present our requests to God with thanksgiving, promising a peace that transcends all understanding.
The song crescendos into its central declaration, emphasizing the transformative power residing in the name of God: "In the name, in the name of our God, All mountains be moved, Chains now be loosed." This is not mere poetic imagery but a direct invocation of biblical promises. Jesus Himself declared in Mark 11:23 that if we have faith and do not doubt, we can command mountains to be removed and cast into the sea. The "mountains" here symbolize insurmountable obstacles, daunting challenges, or oppressive circumstances that seem impossible to overcome. Likewise, "chains now be loosed" speaks to deliverance from spiritual, emotional, or physical bondage, a truth deeply rooted in the liberating power of Christ’s sacrifice, as proclaimed in Galatians 5:1, "For freedom Christ has set us free." The New Testament consistently illustrates this power; in Acts 3:6, Peter healed a lame man by saying, "In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!"
The repetitive, almost meditative chant of "Oh oh oh, no other name, Oh, the name of Jesus" further magnifies the exclusivity and ultimate authority attributed to Jesus. This refrain hammers home the truth found in Acts 4:12, stating unequivocally, "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mankind by which we must be saved." This isn't about religious dogma but about acknowledging a singular source of hope, healing, and redemption. Every good work, every answered prayer, every victory declared is accomplished through His name, as Colossians 3:17 encourages us: "And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." "The Name of Our God" is ultimately an inspiring call to active, confident faith, a declaration that through Christ, we possess the spiritual authority to confront and conquer whatever rises against us. It invites all to lean into the potent, life-altering reality of His presence and power.
