Lyrics
Loved before I had a name
Washed before I knew my shame
O the lamb was slain before the earth was laid
What an awesome price He paid
Chorus
I owe it all, all to Jesus
All - every part of me
Lying at His feet
I owe it all, let every breath I take
Rise to bring Him praise
To the glory of ONE name...
Jesus
Nail pierced hands are holding mine
A crown of thorns has freed my mind
Sin cannot exhaust, the grace
shown on that cross
Mercy bought back what was lost I take
Chorus
Blinded eyes will one day see
Every loss made victory
There is healing in one name,
one name
He has silenced every foe
Every high thing brought down
low
There is freedom in one name,
one name
And soon everyone will know
There still lives a blessed hope
Our salvation’s in one Name,
one Name
He will one day come again
To the praises of all men
Hallelujah to one name, one
name.

Meaning & Inspiration
One Name centers on Jesus as the sole basis of grace, freedom, and hope. It moves from being loved before a name was known to the cost of the cross: the slain Lamb, nail-pierced hands, and the crown of thorns. The chorus answers those images with total devotion, laying “every part of me” at Jesus’ feet and directing every breath toward his praise.
The later lines expand the focus from personal redemption to the promised completion of Christ’s work. Blind eyes see, foes are silenced, and loss is turned to victory. The closing hope of his return and the praise of all people closely align with the New Testament’s vision of every knee bowing and every tongue confessing Jesus Christ. Throughout, the repetition of “one name” keeps the message fixed on Christ rather than on human effort.
