Lyrics
Verse 1
In the streets, in the crowd
With no one else around
Unashamed, I don't care
What they say
You never have let me down
And I know You won't start now
All the time, You are good
Hear me say
Chorus
We don't care how it looks
Jireh will provide it
We don't care how it feels
Rapha's gonna heal
We declare there is none
Greater than Jehovah
We proclaim
That great name
We proclaim
That great name
Je-suh-uh-uh-uh-us
Verse 1 (Repeat)
In the streets, in the crowd
With no one else around
Unashamed, I don't care
What they say
You never have let me down
I know You won't start now
All the time, You are good
Hear me say
Chorus (Repeat)
We don't care how it looks
Jireh will provide it
We don't care how it feels
Rapha's gonna heal
We declare there is none
Greater than Jehovah
We proclaim
That great name
We proclaim
That great name
Je-suh-uh-uh-uh-us
Je-suh-uh-uh-uh-us
Bridge (x3)
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue proclaim
Let the whole world know
There is just one name
Outro
When it's said and done
Don't you be afraid
It's your turn to sing
JESUS IS THAT NAME
Je-suh-uh-uh-uh-us
Je-suh-uh-uh-uh-us
Chorus (Repeat)
We don't care how it looks
Jireh will provide it
We don't care how it feels
Rapha's gonna heal
We declare there is none
Greater than Jehovah
We proclaim
That great name
We proclaim
That great name

Meaning & Inspiration
“Proclaim” by Todd Galberth is a song about speaking God’s name boldly. The opening describes being in the streets and in the crowd, unashamed and not caring what others say, because God has never let the singer down. The line “All the time, You are good” sets the tone.
The chorus names God by His titles: “Jireh will provide it,” “Rapha’s gonna heal,” and “none greater than Jehovah.” These names recall Genesis 22:14 and Exodus 15:26. The singers say they do not care how it looks or how it feels, and instead “proclaim that great name,” ending in a stretched sung “Jesus.”
The bridge turns to Philippians 2:10-11: “Every knee shall bow, every tongue proclaim.” A final spoken section tells listeners not to be afraid because it is their turn to sing that Jesus is that name. The song is an open declaration of faith.
