The lyrics emphasize speaking truth, hope, and wholeness over lies, fear, and brokenness, relying on the power of Jesus' name. The song references biblical miracles like moving mountains and splitting the sea, and affirms that the same authority resides in believers.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
You moved the mountains, and you split the sea
You call the dead men up to live and breathe
The same authority is alive in me
So, I'll move the mountains
And I'll split the sea
So, I speak to the lies
Truth in the name of Jesus
And I speak to the fear
Hope in the name of Jesus
And I speak to the brokenness
Wholeness
In the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
When I'm surrounded and I cannot stand
When insecurities are creeping in
I won't bow down to any fear of man
'Cause He who lives within me is the great "I Am"
So, I speak to the lies
Truth in the name of Jesus
And I speak to the fear
Hope in the name of Jesus
And I speak to the brokenness
Wholeness
In the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
So, I speak
So, I speak to the lies
Truth in the name of Jesus
And I speak to the fear
Hope in the name of Jesus
And I speak to the brokenness
Wholeness
In the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
Something happens when we sing Your praises
Something happens when the whole room changes
It's the power of the name, oh the name of Jesus
Something happens when we sing Your praises
Something happens when the whole room changes
It's the power of the name, oh the name of Jesus
Something happens when we sing Your praises
Something happens when the whole room changes
It's the power of the name, oh the name of Jesus
Something happens
Something happens when we sing Your praises
Something happens when the whole room changes
It's the power of the name, oh the name of Jesus
So, I speak to the lies
Truth in the name of Jesus
And I speak to the fear
Hope in the name of Jesus
And I speak to the brokenness
Wholeness
In the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
I speak
I speak
So, I speak to the lies
Truth in the name of Jesus
And I speak to the fear
Hope in the name of Jesus
And I speak to the brokenness
Wholeness
In the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
I have the authority
I have the authority
I have the authority
In the name of Jesus
I have the authority
I have the authority
I have the authority
In the name of Jesus
I have the authority
Yes. I do
I have the authority
I have the authority
In the name of Jesus
I have the authority
I have the authority
I have the authority
In the name of Jesus
So, I speak to the lies
Truth in the name of Jesus
And I speak to the fear
Hope in the name of Jesus
And I speak to my brokenness
Wholeness
In the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
