LYRICS
(Talk)
How many of you are thankful for the name of Jesus
I know I am
If it wasn’t for the name of Jesus
None of us will be here
If it wasn’t for the cross
We won’t be singing his praise
As we all know
There are many names out there
In Hollywood
In politics
All over the world
But guess what
There’s no other name than the name of Jesus
Amen
Chorus:
Oh what a beautiful name
That name Jesus
The name that’s all we need
Oh how I love that name
Verse1:
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In the believer’s ear
It suits his sorrows
Heals his wounds
And drives away his fears
That name is beautiful
That name is wonderful
It can heal the sick
It can raise the dead
It can turn lives around
It can heal the sick
It can raise the dead
It turns our lives around
The name is Jesus
Jesus Jesus Christ
It’s Jesus Jesus Jesus, my Lord

Oh what a beautiful name
That name Jesus
The name that’s all we need

Verse 2:
No matter what you’re passing through
No matter what you’re facing now
In every situation you find yourself
Don’t give up
The name of Jesus
Is higher than all
Cos when you call his name
Demons tremble
When you call his name
Mountains meltdown
When you call his name
All your sorrows are gone
When Jesus comes into your life
You will smile again
Cos when you call his name
Jesus
Demons tremble
Ehhhh
When you call his name

Mountains meltdown

All your sorrows are gone
Ehh
When Jesus comes into your life
You will smile again

That name Jesus
The name that’s all we need
Oh how I love that name
