Lyrics
At the name of the Lord
Every knee will bow
All creation will cry out His greatness
And Your sons and your daughters
are filled with power
That is found in the name of Jesus
At the name of the lord
We are singing praise
for the things that He has done for us
Now in faith we unite and we give Him thanks
For the goodness that He'll do through us
Greater works shall we do
In the name of Jesus
Signs and miracles on the earth
As it is in heaven heaven
At the name of the lord
We are singing praise
for the things that He has done for us
Now in faith we unite and we give Him thanks
For the goodness that He'll do through us
Greater works shall we do
In the name of Jesus
Signs and miracles on the earth
As it is in heaven heaven
So we say rise and walk
Depression will flee
The ruler of darkness get thee behind me
My healing is here, I claim victory
All by the power of Jesus in me
Rise and walk
Depression will flee
The ruler of darkness get thee behind me
My healing is here, I claim victory
All by the power of Jesus in me
Greater works shall we do
In the name of Jesus
Signs and miracles on the earth
As it is in heaven heaven
Greater works shall we do
In the name of Jesus
Signs and miracles on the earth
As it is in heaven heaven
Rise and walk
Depression will flee
The ruler of darkness get thee behind me
My healing is here, I claim victory
All by the power of Jesus in me
Rise and walk
Depression will flee
The ruler of darkness get thee behind me
My healing is here, I claim victory
All by the power of Jesus in me

Meaning & Inspiration
Greater Works centers on confidence in the name and authority of Jesus. Its opening pictures every knee bowing and creation declaring God’s greatness, then moves from praise into expectation. The song presents believers as empowered to serve, pray, and act in faith, with gratitude for what God has done joined to hope for what God may do through them.
The refrain draws directly on Jesus’ words that those who believe in him will do greater works. Its language about signs, healing, and victory also recalls scenes in Acts where restoration is proclaimed in Jesus’ name. Repeated commands to rise and walk give the lyric an urgent, declarative character, while the appeal for darkness and depression to flee expresses trust in Christ’s power. The song ultimately treats worship and action as connected responses: praise acknowledges God’s past goodness, and faith looks toward his continuing work on earth.
