Verse 1
Isn't the name of Jesus wonderful, isn't the name of Jesus wonderful
All the world can come to Him, to have their sins removed
Isn't the name of Jesus wonderful
Verse 2
Isn't the name of Jesus beautiful, isn't the name of Jesus beautiful
Son of God and one of us, Lover of our souls
Isn't the name of Jesus beautiful
Chorus
Eternal King, You will reign forever, and we will sing the glory of our name
Be lifted high for all the world to see, Your name is all they need
Your name is all we need
Verse 3
Isn't the name of Jesus powerful, isn't the name of Jesus powerful
Chains are broken when it's spoken, ev-‘ry knee must bow
Isn't the name of Jesus powerful
Bridge
There freedom in the name, there's healing in the name
There is power in the name, salvation in the name
There is life in the name, there is no other name but Jesus
Verse 4
Isn't the name of Jesus all we need, isn't the name of Jesus all we need
He''s the way, the truth, the life, the only way to God
Isn't the name of Jesus all we need

Meaning & Inspiration
Isnt The Name builds its worship around the identity and authority of Jesus. Each verse adds another confession: His name is wonderful, beautiful, powerful, and sufficient. The lyric connects that name with forgiveness, healing, freedom, life, and salvation, presenting Christ as both the eternal King and the Son of God who came near to humanity. Its repeated questions function less as uncertainty than as invitations to affirm who Jesus is.
Several declarations closely follow biblical language. The claim that every knee must bow recalls Philippians 2:9-11, where the exalted name of Jesus receives universal acknowledgment. The statement that there is no other name associated with salvation echoes Acts 4:12. The final verse also draws from John 14:6 by identifying Christ as the way, the truth, and the life. These references give the song a clear Christ-centered focus: hope rests not in an abstract promise, but in the person, reign, and saving work of Jesus.
