Song Lyrics
Authority in His Name
Verse 1
In the heavens declared, on earth shown,
Jesus, our Savior, exalted and known.
Name above all names, by the Father bestowed,
In Him, every knee bows, from high realms to low.
Chorus
Authority in His Name, the earth and heavens proclaim,
Jesus Christ, Lord of all, before You every power shall fall.
At the sound of Your name, chains break, the lost reclaim,
Authority in His Name, forever and ever, Amen.
Verse 2
In His name, the blind see, the lame walk,
Captives set free, in His love, we’re unlocked.
Mighty in power, gentle in grace,
In the name of Jesus, every fear we face.
Chorus
Authority in His Name, the earth and heavens proclaim,
Jesus Christ, Lord of all, before You every power shall fall.
At the sound of Your name, chains break, the lost reclaim,
Authority in His Name, forever and ever, Amen.
Bridge
Highest heaven, lowest earth,
Declare His glory, His worth.
In His name, salvation’s song,
In His love, we belong.
Chorus
Authority in His Name, the earth and heavens proclaim,
Jesus Christ, Lord of all, before You every power shall fall.
At the sound of Your name, chains break, the lost reclaim,
Authority in His Name, forever and ever, Amen.
Outro
In worship, we stand, in awe, we bow,
Jesus, our Lord, to You, every vow.
Authority in His Name, our hearts’ eternal flame,
In Christ alone, we proclaim.
Declare Jesus’ name over strongholds—sickness, fear, injustice—and pray for breakthrough. May you rise in the authority of Christ, knowing His name is your banner, shield, and sword.Spiritual Engagement
