Power in the Name
Intro:
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh.

Chorus:
There is power in the name of Jesus.
Whoever calls on Him shall be saved.
He's our strongest tower; we trust in Jesus.
Whoever calls on Him shall be saved.

Jesus is our hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope
Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope.
The Messiah is our hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope,
Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope.

Verse 1:
One thing we desire is the kingdom of God,
For men have failed like the father of lies.
The Lord will bring with Him peace and love;
Come, let's praise the Most High.

There is none like the Prince of Peace,
An embodiment of mercy and joy.
The Lord will bring with Him peace and love;
Come, let's praise the Most High

Bridge:
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh.
Jesus is all we need; nothing more is required for this world than the Lord's reign.

Chorus:
There is power in the name of Jesus.
Whoever calls on Him shall be saved.
He's our strongest tower; we trust in Jesus.
Whoever calls on Him shall be saved.

Jesus is our hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope
Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope.
The Messiah is our hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope,
Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope.

Verse 2:
The Messiah is our hope in times of distress;
He's all we have when all hope is lost.
He is our Comforter, Father, Saviour, and Friend.
We sing to His glory from today until the end.

He is our hope, for in Him we find rest.
He is our strength when we walk through the storm.
He is our light when we are lost in the dark;
He is our faith when we are trapped in the valley. *Chorus*
