Lyrics
Isn't the name of Jesus wonderful
Isn't the name of Jesus wonderful
All the world can come to Him
And have their sins removed
Isn't the name of Jesus wonderful
(repeat)
Eternal king, You will reign forever
And we will sing, the glory of Your name
Be lifted high, for all the world to see
Your name is all they need, Your name is all we need
Isn't the name of Jesus Powerful
Isn"t the name of Jesus Powerful
Chains are broken when it's spoken
Every knee must bow
Isn't the name of Jesus Powerful
Eternal king, You will reign forever
And we will sing, the glory of Your name
Be lifted high, for all the world to see
Your name is all they need, Your name is all we need
Eternal king, You will reign forever
And we will sing, the glory of Your name
Be lifted high, for all the world to see
Your name is all they need, Your name is all we need
There is freedom in the name
There is 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
There is freedom in the name
There is 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
There is freedom in the name
There is 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
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
“Isn’t the Name” centers on the sufficiency and authority of Jesus’ name. Its recurring questions move through wonder, power, freedom, healing, salvation, and life, while the refrain presents Christ as the answer for a world burdened by sin. The language remains direct and congregational, returning repeatedly to the conviction that no other name can offer what Jesus gives.
The song’s declaration that every knee must bow closely echoes Philippians 2:9–11, where every knee bows and every tongue acknowledges Jesus Christ as Lord. Its closing description of Jesus as “the way, the truth, the Life” directly recalls John 14:6. Together, these themes place worship alongside a clear confession of Christ’s unique saving role. The repeated vision of the eternal King being lifted high also gives the song a global scope: praise is directed toward the One whose reign endures and whose name is proclaimed for all to see.
