In the Name of Jesus
Not in my strength, a faltering, fleeting thing, Not on the merit that my efforts bring, But on the name that cracks the prison door— The name of Jesus,now and evermore.
Salvation comes. It comes with saving power, In this decisive,holy hour. It comes to break the chain,to loose the cord, And reconcile our hearts unto the Lord.
The name that stills the waves and calms the storm, The name that shatters every demon form, The name above all other names ever known— The precious name by which we are His own.
It is the key that turns the lock of grace, The solid rock,our only hiding place. The door through which we pass from death to life, An end to struggle and to inner strife.
So let it be the anthem of my breath, My shield in life,my confidence in death. The first word of my prayer,the last my plea— Salvation comesto set this captive free.
In Jesus' name, the work is done, complete. In Jesus'name, we triumph in defeat. In Jesus'name, heaven's promise is assured. Salvation comesin that eternal word.
Amen.

The Scripture Behind the Prayer:
This poem is built on the foundational truth of the Bible:
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12, NIV)
"Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth." (Philippians 2:9-10, NIV)
