There is power in the name
There is power in the name of the Lord
There is power in the name
So much power in the name of the Lord
There is power in the name
There is power in the name of the Lord
There is power in the name
So much power in the name of the Lord
In Your name principalities bow
In Your name demons tremble
In Your name Lord Impossiblities made possible
So much power in the name of the Lord
In Your name principalities bow
In Your name demons tremble
In Your name Lord Impossiblities made possible
So much power in the name of the Lord
The name of Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus is powerful name
The name of Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus is powerful name
The name of Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus is powerful name
The name of Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus most powerful name
The name of Jesus is accessible
The name of Jesus is reliable
At the call of His name every knee shall bow
Every tongue confess
The name of Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus most powerful name
The name of Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus is powerful name
The name of Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus most powerful name
The name of Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus is powerful name

Meaning & Inspiration
The Name of Jesus is built around a direct confession of Christ’s authority. Its repeated declaration that power rests in the Lord’s name is expanded through images of principalities bowing, demons trembling, and impossible situations changing. Rather than presenting the name as a formula, the lyric associates it with the person and rule of Jesus. The recurring chorus gives the song a simple congregational shape, allowing its central claim to remain clear throughout.
The line about every knee bowing and every tongue confessing closely echoes Paul’s words in Philippians. References to spiritual powers submitting also resemble Gospel accounts in which the disciples report that demons yield in Jesus’ name. Describing His name as accessible and reliable adds a note of trust: Christ may be called upon with confidence. Together, these ideas make the song an affirmation of Jesus’ exaltation, saving authority, and supremacy over spiritual opposition.
