I know a Name that can silence roaring waves
I know a Name that can empty out a grave
I know a Name it's the only Name that saves
And it's worthy of all praise
I call You Jesus, I call You, I call you Healer
Risen and reigning in power, something comes out of the grave
Ev'ry time I call You Jesus, I call you, I call You Savior
Worthy of glory forever, something comes out of the grave
Ev'ry time I call Your name
I have a King with dominion over death
He holds the keys in His holy, nail scarred hands
He is the heel that has crushed the serpent's head
Our resurrected Great I Am
Chains break, dry bones wake, ev'ry time I call Your Name
The gates of hell shake, ev'ry time I call Your Name
Chains break, dry bones wake, ev'ry time I call Your Name
The gates of hell shake, ev'ry time I call Your Name
Where oh death is now your sting and
Where oh grave your victory
Where oh death is now your sting
And where oh grave your victory
Dead things come alive, dead things come alive
Dead things come alive in the name of Jesus
Dead things come alive, dead things come alive
Dead things come alive in the name of Jesus
Dead things come alive, dead things come alive
Dead things come alive in the name of Jesus
Dead things come alive, dead things come alive
Dead things come alive in the name
I call You Jesus, I call You, I call you Healer
Risen and reigning in power, something comes out of the grave
Ev'ry time I call You Jesus, I call you, I call You Savior
Worthy of glory forever, something comes out of the grave
Ev'ry time I call Your name
Chains break, dry bones wake, ev'ry time I call Your Name
The gates of hell shake, ev'ry time I call Your Name
Dead things come alive, dead things come alive
Dead things come alive in the name of Jesus
Dead things come alive, dead things come alive
Dead things come alive in the name of Jesus Christ
