Song Lyrics: Authority In The Name Of Jesus by Housefires, Nick Day
Verse 1
You moved the mountains
and you split the sea
You call the dead men up to live and breathe
The same authority’s alive in me
So I’ll move the mountains
And I’ll split sea
Chorus
I speak to the lies
Truth in the name of Jesus
I speak to the fear
Hope in the name of Jesus
I speak to the brokenness
Wholeness
In the name of Jesus (x2)
Verse 2
When I’m surrounded and I cannot stand
When insecurities are creepin’ in
I won’t bow down to any fear of man
‘Cause He Who lives within me is the Great I Am
Bridge
Somethin’ happens when we sing Your praises
Somethin’ happens and the whole room changes
It’s the power of the name, oh the name of Jesus
