There is one who can heal the diseases of the soul
Others try and pretend that they have this kind of power
But there's no other name that you really need to know

Repeat Chorus

In the name of the Lord we have found complete redemption
In the name of the Lord we have hope beyond the grave
And there's no other way to be sure we're bound for heaven
There is no other name with the awesome pow'r to save

Repeat Chorus

Every tongue will confess
The blessed name of Jesus

Lyrics:

Chorus:
Your love is more than my mind can fathom
More than I know
Your love is more than the highest heavens
More than forever

Before creation you knew my name
You formed my life in your hand
You breathed in me and I came to life
You heard my voice when I cried

You put the touch in my fingertips
You put a song on my lips
You touched my eyes and I see the world
My ears to hear Your words

Repeat Chorus

Before you knew me, you loved me so
When I had no place to go
You came to me when my way was lost
Your love flowed from a cross

You put warmth in a heart so cold
Made me a lamb in your fold
Gave me a purpose, a destiny
Lord you set me free

Repeat Chorus

Sometimes the future seems so unsure
Sometimes my heart is afraid
I draw my comfort from knowing you
Lord you are my friend

Repeat Chorus

More than my mind can fathom
More than I know
Your love is more than the highest heavens
More than forever
More

Before anything else existed there was Christ with God.  He has always been alive and is Himself God.  He created everything there is.  Nothing exists He didn't make.  Eternal life is in Him and this life gives light to all mankind.  His life is the light that shines through darkness and the darkness can never extinguish it.

Repeat Chorus

Christ was alive when the world began, yet I myself have seen Him with my own eyes and listened to Him speak.  I've touched Him with my own hands.  He is God's message of life.  This one who is life from God has been showed to us and we guarantee that we have seen Him.  I'm speaking of Christ, who is eternal life.  He is with the Father and was shown to us.

Repeat Chorus

We have seen His glory

Scriptural Reference:

"They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him. 'Hail, king of the Jews!' they said."  Matthew 27:28-29

And under the shadow of the cross
Let me hide myself and all that would
Shout out your glory
And allow me to see you
To know who you really are
So that someone else
Can see you through me
