When I Say Jesus
Lyrics
VERSE 1
You show me
Every breath I breathe is from You
Every fingerprint part of You
I am Yours from start to end
VERSE 2
You hold me
And even when I wander
You are never farther
Than just a word away
CHORUS 1
When I say Jesus
The very mention
Shatters the darkness
And calms my soul
When I say Jesus
Even a whisper
Breaks through my doubting
‘Til all my fear is gone
When I say Jesus
When I say Jesus
VERSE 3
You’re with me
Writing grace into my story
I’m surrounded by Your victory
There’s freedom in Your name
CHORUS 2
When I say Jesus
The very mention
Shatters the darkness
And calms my soul
When I say Jesus
Even a whisper
Breaks through my doubting
‘Til all my fear is gone
BRIDGE X2
At the name of Jesus
Every fear is broken
Nothing now can hinder
Your love that never fades
I cannot escape it
I cannot erase it
I cannot deny it
You are here to stay
CHORUS 1 X2
Behind The Music
This song is a powerful testament to God’s ability to destroy doubt and fear, and replace it with comfort and hope.
This song was written for a dear friend of ours. She had just lost her husband after being married only three months. She didn’t know Jesus, but wanted to learn about Him. The words of this song were what our team wanted her to know—that there’s hope and power in the name of Jesus. His name alone can get us through life’s most difficult circumstances.
Just a few months later, that same writer who brought his friend’s story to the table lost his dad and two of his closest friends. In those moments of grief, he remembered the words he’d helped write for his friend, and he was reminded that God was with him in his darkest hour.
