Lyrics
Verse 1
I've been lost
And what I've found
There's One Name
That can turn it all around
And I've been blind
But now I see
With just one word
You can set me free
Chorus
So in the name of Jesus
I am not alone
He's bigger than my problems
I find all my hope
In the name of Jesus
He won't let me go
I stand on every promise
I find my cornerstone
In the name Jesus
Verse 2
I'll trade my doubt
For Your faith
I'll trade my shame
For Your grace
Gave my sin
You gave your son
Now there's nothing
I can't overcome
Chorus
In the name of Jesus
I am not alone
He's bigger than my problems
I find all my hope
In the name of Jesus
He won't let me go
I stand on every promise
I find my cornerstone
In the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
In The Name Of Jesus is a song of confidence in the power of the name of Jesus. The first verses recall being lost and blind and finding one Name that can turn everything around and set the singer free. The chorus says that in the name of Jesus the singer is not alone, that He is bigger than problems, that He will not let go, and that every promise and the cornerstone are found in Him.
The second verse trades doubt for faith and shame for grace, noting that God gave His Son, so there is nothing that cannot be overcome. The bridge adds patient waiting and praise until everything changes because He is in control. The themes match Philippians 2:9-11, Acts 4:12, John 9:25 and Ephesians 2:20. Repetition of the name in the chorus makes the song a declaration for a congregation.
