Intro: D Bm A

G                                         D
It stands to reason that a name is just a word.
         G                 Bm
It can be easily forgotten just as soon as it is heard.
    Em                             D/F#      
But one name was spoken before the world's first day
            G                     G                                    
And it will be here when everything that is has passed away.

Chorus 


D
Delivered from the lips of God
D/C#
To Mary's ears on angel wings 
Bm      A
Jesus, Jesus.
D
The word that came to life for us. 
D/C#
The song that all creation sings.
Bm      A
Jesus, Jesus.
            G                         A        Bm
The proudest nations of the earth have come and gone
    Em A               C G D
But Jesus, the name lives on.


        G                       D
When I'm awakened by a terrifying dream
G                         Bm
And desperation reaches up and clutches me
      Em                     D/F#      
When I am so afraid that I don't know what to pray
      G                        G
I simply speak it and feel it and it chases fear away.

Chorus 


C                        G
Eternal hope and promise, the ever-breaking dawn
Em                      B
When time itself is over, the name lives on.
