Lyrics
We call You Lord
We call you Adonai
You are our Lord
Hallelujah
Cause at the mention of Your name
Every knee must bow
Every tongue confess
That You are, You are Lord
Cause at the mention of Your name
Every knee must bow
Every tongue confess
That You are, You are Lord
Cause at the mention of Your name
Every knee must bow
Every tongue confess
That You are, You are Lord
And at the mention of Your name
Every knee must bow
Every tongue confess
That You are, You are Lord
Cause Jesus, You are Lord
Oh oh, oh
Jesus, You are Lord
Oh oh, oh
Jesus, You are Lord
Oh oh, oh
At the mention of Your name
The scales fall from their eyes
Once blinded eyes will see
That You are, You are Lord
So at the mention of Your name
The scales fall from their eyes
Once blinded eyes will see
That You are, You are
Cause Jesus, You are Lord
Oh oh, oh
Jesus, You are Lord
Oh oh, oh
Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, You are Lord
Oh oh, oh
Jesus, You are Lord
Oh oh, oh
Jesus, You are Lord
Oh oh, oh

Meaning & Inspiration
“At the Mention of Your Name” is built around the confession that Jesus is Lord. Its recurring picture of every knee bowing and every tongue confessing directly echoes Philippians 2:10–11, placing the name of Jesus at the center of universal acknowledgment and worship. The opening use of “Adonai” reinforces the song’s language of lordship, while the repeated hallelujah keeps the response rooted in praise rather than abstract doctrine.
A second image shifts from bowed knees to opened eyes. The scales falling from blindness recalls Acts 9:18, when Saul regains his sight, and it also suggests spiritual recognition of Christ’s authority. Repetition serves the song’s central purpose: the name of Jesus is proclaimed until the confession becomes the dominant response. The lyrics do not develop a detailed narrative; instead, they gather worship around a concise biblical claim. Jesus is named as Lord, blindness gives way to sight, and praise follows the recognition of who he is.
