I Know A Name

Brandon Lake

Lyrics
I know a name that can silence the roaring waves
I know a name that can empty out a grave
I know a name, it's the only name that saves
And it's worthy of all praise

I call You, Jesus
I call You, I call You Healer
Risen and reigning in power
Something comes out of the grave
Every time I call You, Jesus
I call You, I call You Savior
Worthy of glory forever
Something comes out of the grave
Every time I call Your name

I have a King with dominion over death
He holds the keys in His holy nail-scarred hands
He is the heel, yeah-yeah
That has crushed the serpent's head
Our resurrected Great I Am, come on

I call You, Jesus
I call You, I call You Healer
Risen and reigning in power
Something comes out of the grave
Every time I call You, Jesus
I call You, I call You Savior
Worthy of glory forever
Something comes out of the grave

Every time I call Your name
Chains break, dry bones wake
Every time I call Your name
The gates of Hell shake

Every time I call Your name
Chains break, dry bones wake
Every time I call Your name
The gates of Hell shake
Every time I call Your name
Oh-oh-oh
Every time I call Your name
Yeah, yeah-yeah
Mmm

Where, oh death, is now your sting?
And where, oh grave, your victory?
Come on now
Where, oh death, is now your sting?
And where, oh grave, your victory?
Yeah, where, oh death, is now your sting?
And where, oh grave, your victory?
Yeah

Dead things come alive
Dead things come alive
Dead things come alive in the name of Jesus
Dead things come alive (dead things)
Dead things come alive
Dead things come alive in the name of Jesus
Dead things come alive

Dead things come alive (dead things come alive)
Dead things come alive
Dead things come alive in the name of Jesus
Dead things come alive
Dead things come alive
Dead things come alive in the name

I call You, Jesus
I call You, I call You Healer
Risen and reigning in power
Something comes out of the grave (every time)
Every time I call You, Jesus
I call You, I call You Savior
Worthy of glory forever
Something comes out of the grave (oh, every time)

Every time I call Your name
Chains break, dry bones wake
Every time I call Your name
The gates of Hell shake

Every time I call Your name (dead things)
Dead things come alive, yeah
Dead things come alive, oh
Dead things come alive in the name of Jesus (yeah)
Dead things come alive
Dead things come alive
Dead things come alive in the name of Jesus

Yeah, yeah
So much power in the name of Jesus
So much power in the name of Jesus
Found my healing in the name of Jesus
I was healed in the name of Jesus
Found my freedom in the name, Jesus
Found my breakthrough in the name, Jesus (come on, sing)

And I call You, Jesus
I call You, I call You Healer
Risen and reigning in power
Something comes out of the grave (of the grave)
Every time I call You, Jesus
I call You, I call You Savior
Worthy of glory forever
Something comes out of the grave
Every time I call Your name
Oh, yeah
