Jeremy Riddle - His Name is Jesus Lyrics
Lyrics
There’s only One strong enough to save
There’s only One who overcame the grave
There’s only One whose worthy of all praise
In His hands, the keys of death and hell
And in His name, a power that can heal
And by His blood, our sins are washed away
His name is Jesus…
His name is Jesus…
His name is Wonderful
Counselor, Almighty God!
Oh nations kneel!
And glorify the Lord
Let all the earth
Tremble for He comes!
And He will judge the living and the dead
The Son of Man coming on the clouds
With trumpet sound and every knee will bow
And tongue confess, the Name above all names!
His name of JESUS!!
His name of JESUS!!
His name is WONDERFUL
COUNSELOR, ALMIGHTY GOD
(Bridge)
HE IS COUNSELOR
HE IS MIGHTY GOD
HE’S THE PRINCE OF PEACE
THE OMNIPOTENT
HE IS WONDERFUL
HE IS RADIANT
THE ALMIGHTY GOD

HIS NAME IS JESUS (SINGLE) – LIVE IN THE PRAYER ROOM | JEREMY RIDDLE
Meaning & Inspiration
Jeremy Riddle's "His Name is Jesus," released on the album *Live in the Prayer Room* in 2022, is a powerful declaration of faith, anchoring its message firmly in the salvific work and ultimate authority of Jesus Christ. This song doesn't just present a theological concept; it evokes a visceral response, drawing from deep wells of biblical truth to underscore the unique power and sovereignty attributed to Jesus. The opening lines immediately establish Him as the singular force capable of salvation and victory over death, a theme directly echoing scripture like 1 Corinthians 15:55-57, which celebrates Christ's triumph over sin and the grave through His resurrection. The lyrics continue to build this foundational understanding by highlighting His inherent authority, stating that in His hands are the "keys of death and hell," a clear allusion to Revelation 1:18, where Jesus declares, "I am the Living One; I died, and now look, I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades." The power of His blood to cleanse sin is another pivotal aspect, referencing the profound atonement described in Hebrews 9:14, which speaks of Christ's blood purifying our conscience.
The song's chorus is a direct invocation of established biblical titles and attributes, proclaiming Jesus as "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God," titles found in Isaiah 9:6, foretelling the birth of the Messiah. This is not mere poetic license; it's a deliberate and accurate theological assertion. The subsequent call to "nations kneel" and the earth to "tremble" as He comes to judge the living and the dead is a direct echo of Philippians 2:10-11, which states that at the name of Jesus, "every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." The imagery of the Son of Man coming on the clouds, with trumpet sound and every knee bowing, is a vivid depiction drawn from prophetic texts like Daniel 7:13-14 and the New Testament accounts of Jesus' return, such as Matthew 24:30. The relentless repetition of "His Name is Jesus!" and the enumeration of His divine titles in the bridge—"Counselor," "Mighty God," "Prince of Peace," "Omnipotent," "Wonderful," "Radiant"—serve to reinforce the singular magnificence and absolute supremacy of Christ. This song is not simply a musical offering but a robust theological statement, a vibrant testament to the enduring power and divine identity of Jesus, rooted deeply in the Holy Scriptures.
