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
