Lyrics
Verse 1
There is a name that I love
There is a name that is higher
There is a name I can call and darkness flees
There is a name that is strong
There is name that is greater
There is a name that can set the captive free
Chorus
Jesus, my heart sings worthy
Jesus, my soul cries holy
Jesus, no other name but
Jesus, my King forever
Verse 2
There is a name that brings peace
There is name that brings healing
There is name that can calm the raging sea
He is the Light of the world
He is the hope for the nations
He is the One and He lives
Oh He lives in me
Bridge
Take everything, all of me
Every breath, let it be for You
Let it be for You
Be lifted high, glorified
Every song, let it rise to You
Let it rise to You

Meaning & Inspiration
There Is A Name is a worship song about the name of Jesus. The verses say there is a name that is loved, higher than all, that makes darkness flee, that is strong and greater, brings peace, healing and calms the raging sea, and sets the captive free. The chorus calls Jesus the one the heart sings worthy to and the soul cries holy, and no other name but Jesus.
The second verse names Him the Light of the world and the hope of the nations, who lives in the believer, and the closing section offers everything, every breath and song, to be lifted high for Him. These lines match Philippians 2:9-11, Acts 4:12, John 8:12 and Mark 4:39, and the hope of the nations echoes Isaiah 42:4 and Matthew 12:21. Declarative and repeated, the song leads a congregation to focus on one name.
