By the Name of Jesus – v2

By the name of Jesus, so he healed
standing before the people
So he reported boldly
changing his world

Standing tall, erect
taking in a breath, no longer trembling
proclaiming to all, to everyone
to the Rulers of the people and the elder,
that he had healed
by the name of Jesus

So different, this Pentecost-filled
this flame-fired Apostle of Christ
Bearing witness, speaking boldy
to the power in name of Jesus

Testifying, full-throated authority
to the healing power
of the name of Christ
So it was then
so it is now,
healed by Christ’s name

No longer the timid disciple,
cowering, denying His Master
hiding no longer in the shadows
outside the courts of power
