In Jesus’ Name – Third Day

The blind have sight
The deaf now hear
The lame will walk
The lost drawn near
And with new life
The dead are raised
All through the power
In Jesus name

The tired find rest
The sick are healed
The mysteries of our God revealed
And now the truth
Can be proclaimed
All through the power
In Jesus name

Name above all names
Savior and our Lord
Every knee will bow
And every tongue confess
No other name is given
By which we can be saved
Let us find our life and love
In Jesus name

The thirsty filled
The hungry fed
And those who mourn
Are comforted
The chains are broken
That have enslaved
We’re offered freedom
In Jesus name

There is power
There is hope
There is love like you’ve never known
There is forgiveness
And healing from your pain
All through the power
In Jesus name

Let us find our life and love
In Jesus name

John 20:30-31 – “Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”

Acts 2:38 – “Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

There was a time in my youth when I was concerned with the social repercussions I would experience if I mentioned the name of Jesus. People knew I was a Christian but speaking about Jesus was not necessarily part of my daily talk. In my early young adult years, after completing a study on the names of God, I became even more concerned with uttering the name of Jesus for fear I would use His name incorrectly. As I’ve aged and studied and learned, I have come to a couple of conclusions: 1) I don’t really care what people think of me, and 2) There is complete and absolute power in the name of Jesus.

In Jesus’ Name by Third Day, is a moving song about the power of Jesus name. They mention many instances that we can find in the Bible where amazing and miraculous things happened through Jesus’ name. Here are just a few examples and where you can read the whole story for yourself:

1. The blind have sight – John 9
2. The deaf now hear – Mark 7:31-37
3. The lame will walk – Matthew 9:1-8
4. The dead are raised – John 11:1-44
5. The sick are healed – Matthew 4:23-24
6. The hungry fed – Luke 9:12-17
7. There is forgiveness – Acts 4:12

Wow! Isn’t our God amazing?! The power in His name didn’t expire upon the completion of the New Testament. We have access to the same power today as that which occurred in Biblical times. Above all else, in Jesus’ name – and only Jesus’ name - can we be saved. He is the only One who can forgive our sins and make our hearts clean before the Father. I am grateful for each and every day that I’ve been given to proclaim His name as the only way to be saved!
