Tremble + I Speak Jesus
Song Meaning
A name is repeated at the start: "Jesus, Jesus, Your name is light that the shadows can't deny." Anthony Evans combines two songs in this medley, "Tremble" and "I Speak Jesus," and the first verse pictures that name bringing peace into disorder: "the storm surrounding me, let it break at Your name, still, call the sea to still, the rage in me to still, every wave at Your name." The command to the waves is the scene in Mark 4:39.
The hook carries the "Tremble" idea: "Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble, Jesus, Jesus, You silence fear." It is a statement about the name and what it does, and the line that follows, "your name cannot be overcome," fits Philippians 2:10 and John 1:5's claim that darkness has not overcome the light.
One verse is a prayer for renewal, "breathe, then call these bones to live, call these lungs to sing, once again I will praise," which recalls Ezekiel 37:5 and the breath that brings dry bones to life. The song finishes by repeating that the name is "alive" and keeps coming back to the hook.
Jesus, Jesus
Your name is light that the shadows can't deny
Peace, bringing it all to peace
The storm surrounding me
Let it break at Your name
Still, call the sea to still
The rage in me to still
Every wave at Your name
Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble
Jesus, Jesus, You silence fear
Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble
Jesus, Jesus
Breathe, then call these bones to live
Call these lungs to sing
Once again, I will praise
Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble
Jesus, Jesus, You silence fear
Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble
Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble
Jesus, Jesus, You silence fear
Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble
Jesus, Jesus
Your name is light the shadows can't deny
Your name cannot be overcome
Your name is alive forever lifted high
Your name cannot be overcome
Your name is light the shadows can't deny
Your name cannot be overcome
Your name is alive forever lifted high
Your name cannot be overcome
Your name is a light the shadows can't deny
Your name cannot be overcome
Your name is alive forever lifted high
Your name cannot be overcome
Shout Jesus from the mountains
Jesus in the streets
Jesus in the darkness over every enemy
Jesus for my family
I speak the holy name
Jesus
Shout Jesus from the mountains
Jesus in the streets
Jesus in the darkness over every enemy
Jesus for my family
I speak the holy name
Jesus
Your name is power
Your name is healing
Your name is life
Break every stronghold
Shine through the shadows
Burn like a fire
Your name is power
Your name is healing
Your name is life
Break every stronghold
Shine through the shadows
Burn like a fire
Your name is power
Your name is healing
Your name is life
Break every stronghold
Shine through the shadows
Burn like a fire
