In the Name….

In the name,
The name of Jesus Christ,
There is so much power, wonder and might.

In the name,
The name of Jesus Christ,
Demons are put to flight, cast out, banished, never to return,
For in the name,
The name of Jesus Christ,
The Word stands solid, unmoveable, can’t break or be burned.

In the name,
The name of Jesus Christ,
The blind see,
Mute hear, and lame rise.

In the name,
The name of Jesus Christ,
Chaos, anarchy, misery, strife
Must leave their place in your life.

In the name,
The name of Jesus Christ,
Joy, Peace and Love reside,
Where once only the presence of sadness, trouble and anger breathed,
His Spirit, the Holy Spirit that is,
Moved in, cleaned up
And set your spirit free.
No longer bound by the past,
But flying freely as a bird let out of a cage,
Moving in the liberty where Christ has set you free,
The chains have disappeared, dropped off,
And in Christ, you stand as the person you are meant to be.

In the name,
The name of Jesus Christ,
Mountains move,
Walls crumble,
What seemed impossible,
Now simplistic,
Just stand and let Jesus fix it.

In the name,
The name of Jesus Christ,
Circumstances change for the better,
Situations demise.
What looked pear-shaped stands straight and tall.
No more cracks or dents,
His blood purged them all.

In the name,
The name of Jesus Christ,
Life rings loud a bell,
And light shines abright, brighter,
Much brighter than the sun, moon or stars by night.

In the name,
The name of Jesus Christ,
I challenge you,
Not off my own back,
But on His authority given,
Will you open up your heart today,
Let Him in and your life of sin be ridden??

In the name,
The name of Jesus Christ.
