Where two or more are
Gathered in His name

There is Power (Lyric Video) - Lincoln Brewster [ Official ]
Meaning & Inspiration
Released as part of Lincoln Brewster's 2014 album *Oxygen*, "There is Power" is a compelling anthem that centers on the profound and transformative strength found in the name of Jesus. The song's message resonates deeply with the biblical assurance that where believers gather, God’s presence is powerfully manifested. This echoes the promise in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." Brewster’s lyrics remind us that this divine presence is not for the distant or hesitant, but for those who approach Him with earnest faith, a sentiment echoed in Hebrews 11:6 which states, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."
The core of the song's message, articulated powerfully in its chorus, is the immeasurable power inherent in the name of Jesus. This isn't just a theological concept; it’s a dynamic reality for those who call upon Him. The Bible is replete with instances of this power displayed through His name, from healing the sick as seen in Acts 4:10 where Peter declared, "Then know this, you all and all the people of Israel: it is by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man is standing before you well," to the casting out of demons and the breaking of spiritual bondage. The verse speaking of silencing doubt and overcoming fear directly points to the authority vested in Jesus. As 1 John 4:18 reminds us, "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." This perfection of love, embodied and enacted by Jesus, dispels all apprehension.
The bridge of "There is Power" builds to a crescendo of affirmation regarding the singular saving and liberating efficacy of Jesus’ name. The declaration that "one name breaks every chain" is a potent reminder of Christ's victory over sin and death, as described in Colossians 2:13-14: "And when you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our sins, having canceled the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross." This signifies the ultimate breaking of the chains of sin and condemnation. The persistent emphasis on this one name, Jesus, and the commitment to proclaim it, aligns with the Great Commission given in Matthew 28:19, urging believers to "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Ultimately, "There is Power" serves as a vibrant testament to the enduring and all-sufficient authority of Jesus Christ, encouraging listeners to lean into His strength and declare His name with unwavering conviction.
