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
