Chris Tomlin's song emphasizes trusting in God's name rather than in worldly resources like horses, chariots, riches, or wisdom. It declares the power found in Jesus' name, including wonder-working, Holy Spirit, redeeming, resurrection, and bondage-breaking power. The lyrics also lift eyes to God as the Maker of heaven and earth, the source of help. The song draws from Psalm 20:7 and Psalm 121:1-2, encouraging believers to place their confidence in God alone.

Some may trust in horses
Some may trust in chariots
Oh but I, I'm gonna trust in the name of the Lord
Some trust in their riches
Some may trust in all they own
Oh but I, I will trust in the name of the Lord
There is wonder working power
Holy Spirit power
Great redeeming power
Power in the name
Resurrection power
Bondage breaking power
Power in the name of Jesus
Some trust in their wisdom
Some may say it's foolishness
Oh but I, I will trust in the name of the Lord
There is wonder working power
Holy Spirit power
Great redeeming power
Power in the name
Resurrection power
Bondage breaking power
Power in the name of Jesus
I lift my eyes to the mountains, the mountains above
You are, You are where my help is from
I lift my eyes to The Maker of Heaven and Earth
You are, You are where my help is from
There is wonder working power
Holy spirit power
Great redeeming power
Power in the name
Resurrection power
Bondage breaking power
Power in His name
There's power in His name
There is wonder working power
Holy Spirit power
Great redeeming power
Power in the name
Resurrection power
Bondage breaking power
Power in the name of Jesus
I lift my eyes to the mountains, the mountains above
You are, You are where my help is from
