Song Meaning
Here Be Lions' “Wonder Working Power” echoes the old hymn line about power in the blood and turns it into a modern anthem of freedom. It begins with a picture of a church singing over fear and dancing over doubt, saying that this is how they overcome.
The verse names the means of victory: the blood, the sound of their testimony, their endless praise and the sound of Jesus' name. The chorus claims that there is wonder working power in the blood that breaks all chains, and that the prison doors shake when the name of Jesus is called upon. The next lines use the image of walls coming down and crumbling at a shout, with every lie overcome and freedom found in the sound. The bridge repeats three statements in a row: freedom is found in the blood of the Lamb, in the scars of his hands and at the sound of his name. The driving rhythm and the shouted refrain make the song a good fit for an energetic worship set or a youth night, and the references to prison doors and walls tie it to well-known Bible stories without retelling them. It is also suited to a person who feels held back by fear, addiction or shame and needs to hear that the name of Jesus carries the power to break those chains.
Prison doors opening is Acts 16:26. Overcoming by the blood and testimony is Revelation 12:11, and walls falling at a shout is Joshua 6:20.

And we're dancing over doubt
This is how we overcome
By the blood and by the sound
Of our testimony
Of our endless praise
This is how we overcome
By the sound of Jesus' name
There is wonder working power
In the blood that breaks all chains
And the prison doors are shaking
When we call upon the name
There's wonder working power
There's wonder working power
The walls are coming down
They crumble when we shout
Every lie is overcome
There is freedom in the sound
Of our testimony
Of our endless praise
This is how we overcome
By the sound of Jesus' name
There is wonder working power
In the blood that breaks all chains
And the prison doors are shaking
When we call upon the name
There's wonder working power
There's wonder working power
Freedom is found in the blood of the Lamb
Freedom is found in the scars of Your hands
Freedom is found at the sound of Your name
The sound of Your name
Freedom is found in the blood of the Lamb
Freedom is found in the scars of Your hands
Freedom is found at the sound of Your name
The sound of Your name
The sound of Your name
There is wonder working power
In the blood that breaks all chains
And the prison doors are shaking
When we call upon the name
There is wonder working power
In the blood that breaks all chains
And the prison doors are shaking
When we call upon the name
There's wonder working power
There's wonder working power
There's wonder working power
There's wonder working power
