The Name Lives On

Heavenly Father We heard Your precious name It stands to reason that a name is just a word It can be easily forgotten as soon as it is heard But one name was spoken before the world's first day And it will be here when everything that is has pa*sed away Delivered from the lips of God To Mary's ears on angel wings Jesus, Jesus The word that came to life for us The song that all creation sings Jesus, oh, Jesus The proudest nations of the earth Have come and gone But Jesus, the name lives on When I'm awakened by a terrifying dream And desperation reaches up and clutches me When I am so afraid that I don't even know what to pray I simply speak it and I feel it and it chases fear away Delivered from the lips of God To Mary's ears on angel wings Jesus, sweet Jesus The word that came to life for us The song that all creation sings Jesus, oh, Jesus The proudest nations of the earth Have come and gone But Jesus, the name lives on Eternal hope and promise The ever breaking dawn When time itself is over The name lives on Delivered from the lips of God To Mary's ears on angel wings Jesus The word that came to life for us The song that all creation sings Jesus, sweet Jesus The proudest nations of the earth Have come and gone But Jesus, the name lives on The proudest nations of the earth Have come and gone But Jesus, the name lives on
