The Power of your Name

I have been looking for this song to put on my playlist but I can't find it anywhere!! This song, "The POWER of Your Name," by Lincoln Brewster has been my FAVORITE for weeks!! When I mean favorite, I mean that it speaks to me on so many levels! I think 95% of the time when I listen to this song, the tears start (yep, I'm serious)!!! It has become my new LIFE SONG (or maybe one of them)!! I listen to it so much that the kids know the words & sing along, even Faith (who still has language struggles :) )!!

I believe the song so CLEARLY describes the LIFE that God has for EACH ONE OF US WHO LOVE HIM ... it so embodies the 2nd part of God's greatest commandment, "To love the Lord your God with your whole heart, mind, & soul. AND to love your neighbor as yourself!"

If you do listen to the song on U-tube ... it starts off slowly with an instrumental intro for a few minutes and then the words start!!! I reccommend turning the song up as loud as you can :)

Here are the lyrics ...

Surely children weren't made for the streets

And fathers were not made to leave

Surely this isn't how it should be

Let Your Kingdom come

Surely nations were not made for war

Or the broken meant to be ignored

Surely this just can't be what You saw

Let Your Kingdom come

Here in my heart

I will live

To carry your compassion

To love a world that's broken

To be Your hands and feet

I will give

With the life that I'd been given

And go beyond religion

To see the world be changed

By the power of Your Name

Surely life wasn't made to regret

And the lost were not made to forget

Surely faith without action is dead

Let Your Kingdom come

Lord break this heart

I will live

To carry your compassion

To love a world that's broken

To be Your hands and feet

I will give

With the life that I'd been given

And go beyond religion

To see the world be changed

By the power of Your Name
