The Power Of Your Name
Verse 1
Surely children weren't made for the streets
And fathers were not made to leave
Surely this isn't how it should be
Let your kingdom come
Verse 2
Surely nations were not made for war
Or the broken meant to be ignored
Surely this just can't be what you saw
Let your kingdom come, here in my heart
Chorus
And I will live, to carry your compassion
To love a world that's broken to be your hands and feet
And I will give, with the life that I've been given
And go beyond religion to see the world be changed
By the power of your name
The power of your name
Verse 3
Surely life wasn't made to regret
And the lost were not made to forget
Surely faith without action is dead
Let your kingdom come, lord break this heart
Chorus
And I will live, to carry your compassion
To love a world that's broken to be your hands and feet
And I will give with the life that I've been given
And go beyond religion to see the world be changed
By the power of your name
Bridge
Jesus your name is a shelter for the hurting
And Your name is a refuge for the weak
Only your name can redeem the undeserving
Jesus your name holds everything I need
Chorus
And I will live, to carry your compassion
To love a world that's broken to be your hands and feet
And I will give with the life that I've been given
And go beyond religion to see the world be changed
By the power of your name
