Lyrics
Verse 1
I’m gonna shout it out
Tell the world what you’re about
Im gonna sing a song
That Goes On and On and On
Pre-chorus
How your love came crashing over me
Yeah, your love came crashing over me
How You came to set the captives free
And we won’t stop till the whole world knows that
Chorus
There is power in the name of Jesus
By our faith in his name there is freedom
There is power in the name of Jesus
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Verse 2
Now my life is changed
And I’ll never be the same
Cause you came and you rescued me
Way back on Calvary
Bridge
Victory is ours and the enemy
Is defeated, he’s Defeated

Meaning & Inspiration
Power In The Name is a praise song about the saving authority of Jesus. The opening verse turns personal faith into public proclamation, calling for the message to be sung continually and shared with the world. The pre-chorus identifies divine love and freedom for captives as the reason for that witness, while the chorus places power and liberty in the name of Jesus.
The second verse moves from proclamation to testimony: life has changed because Christ rescued the singer through Calvary. Acts 4:12 directly supports the songs focus on salvation in the name of Jesus, and John 8:36 matches its declaration of freedom. The bridge adds the language of victory, presenting the enemy as defeated rather than equal to Christ. Together, the sections connect the cross, changed life, freedom, faith, and praise, ending in confidence that the name being proclaimed carries saving authority.
