Lyrics

Verse 1


You’re here with the grace of the Savior
With the heart of the Father
You’re all we need
You’re here with the hands of the Healer
With the power of Your Spirit
You’re all we need


Chorus


At the mention of Your name
Every chain will break
I know everything will change
Jesus, just the whisper of Your name
Will silence wind and waves
At the mention of Your name


Verse 2


You’re here, You’re the Provider
All I’ve ever needed
Jesus, You supply
You’re here, with wonder-working power
Everything You breathe on
Coming back to life


Bridge


You are my strength
You are my anchor
And You never fail
You are my hope
You will deliver
Emmanuel


Outro


At the mention of Your name
Every chain will break
I know everything will change
Jesus, just the whisper of Your name
Will silence wind and waves
At the mention of Your name


Just the mention, Oh
Just the whisper, Oh
You’re just a breath away
You’re just a breath away

Meaning & Inspiration

Mention of Your Name celebrates the power of Jesus' name to change everything. The first verse says Christ is here with the grace of the Savior, the heart of the Father, the hands of the Healer and the power of the Spirit, and that He is all that is needed. The chorus claims that at His name every chain will break and that even the whisper of it will silence wind and waves.

The second verse calls Him the Provider whose breath brings things back to life, and the bridge names Him strength, anchor, hope and deliverer, ending with Emmanuel. The silencing of wind and waves recalls Mark 4:39, the breaking of chains fits Acts 16:26 and Psalm 107:14, and the power of the name echoes Philippians 2:9-11 and Acts 3:16. Emmanuel points to Matthew 1:23. Repetition in the outro keeps attention on the name itself.
