Not a moment goes by, where this world won't try
To rattle me out of my peace
And my faith is like sand, slipping right through my hands
And crumbling under my feet
When answers don't come, my heart goes numb
I fall to my knees
And I cry Jesus, when I'm barely holding on
When my hope is all but gone
You are the word that I speak
I cry Jesus, the name above all names
Every minute every day
You are the one that I need
I cry, I cry, Jesus
I cry, I cry, Jesus
When I've chased all my dreams, and I've made them my king
And I find myself losing the war
In all my fear and unrest, You are my only defense
I'm letting go, the battle is Yours
So I cry Jesus, when I'm barely holding on
When my hope is all but gone
You are the word that I speak
I cry Jesus, the name above all names
Every minute every day
You are the one that I need
I cry, I cry, Jesus
I cry, I cry, Jesus
There is power in the name, power that can save
There is power in the name of Jesus (In the name of Jesus)
There is power in the name (Power in the name)
Power that can save (Power that can save)
There is power in the name of Jesus
When answers don't come and my heart goes numb
I fall to my knees
And I cry Jesus, when I'm barely holding on
When my hope is all but gone
You are the word that I speak
I cry Jesus, the name above all names
Every minute every day
You are the one that I need
I cry, I cry, Jesus
I cry, I cry, Jesus
I cry (I cry), I cry, Jesus (Jesus)
I cry (Jesus), I cry (Yeah), Jesus
