Lakewood Church - Jesus Never Fails Us Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
There's a remedy
For the weary soul
Oh it heals the heart
And it makes it whole
It's a name so sweet
I can call upon
Oh it rescued me
And now leads me on
Chorus
There is no greater
There is no stronger
Name than the name of Jesus
It's full of power
Every chain breaks
When I call on the name of Jesus
Tag
We can call on the name Jesus
Verse 2
There's an antidote
For the restless soul
Oh it makes its mark
Deep inside the bone
It's his name alone
That I stand upon
Who could overthrow
The son of God
Bridge
Jesus never fails us

Meaning & Inspiration
Lakewood Church’s track, "Jesus Never Fails Us," released as part of their 2022 album "Shout!," stands as a powerful declaration of unwavering faith, rooted deeply in the transformative power of the name of Jesus. The song's core message resonates with the profound spiritual truth that in times of weariness and unrest, a divine remedy and an antidote are readily available through Christ. The lyrics eloquently describe this remedy as something that heals the soul and makes it whole, a concept echoed throughout Scripture. For instance, Psalm 34:18 assures us, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit," highlighting God's compassionate response to our deepest pains. The song further emphasizes the personal victory and ongoing guidance derived from calling upon this name, aligning with passages like Philippians 4:13 which states, "I can do all this through him who gives me strength." The chorus is a resounding affirmation of Jesus' supreme authority and power, asserting that "There is no greater, there is no stronger name than the name of Jesus." This echoes the Apostle Peter's bold proclamation in Acts 4:12: "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." The inherent power in His name is depicted as capable of breaking every chain, a truth found in the deliverance experienced by believers throughout the Bible, such as in the freeing of Peter from prison in Acts 12. The second verse reinforces this singular reliance on Jesus, presenting Him as the foundation upon which believers stand, an unassailable fortress against any opposition. The question posed, "Who could overthrow the Son of God?", is a rhetorical challenge that underscores the ultimate victory of Christ, as foretold in Romans 8:31: "If God is for us, who can be against us?" The song culminates with the simple yet profound assurance, "Jesus never fails us," a testament to the unfailing faithfulness of God as described in Lamentations 3:22-23: "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." This declaration isn't just a hopeful wish; it is a spiritual certainty grounded in the character of God and His redemptive work through Jesus Christ, offering solace and strength to all who embrace this truth.
