In the Name of the Lord.

 In the Name of the Lord

A Reflection on Psalm 124:8, Proverbs 18:10, and Acts 4:12

In the name of the Lord—not a whisper, not a charm,

But the strong and mighty tower that keeps us safe from harm.

It is the name that breaks the chains, that heals the broken heart,

That gives the fallen courage to rise and make a brand‑new start.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. (Psalm 124:8)

In the name of the Lord, the enemy must flee.

The darkness cannot stand against this holy, sacred key.

When we speak it in our weakness, when we shout it in the fray,

Mountains move, and fear dissolves, and hope finds its way.

It is the name of Jesus—the name above all names,

The One who bore our sin and shame, who broke the enemy’s claims.

In the name of the Lord, we are forgiven, we are free.

In the name of the Lord, we have victory.

The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. (Proverbs 18:10)

So let us lift this name—in worship, prayer, and song.

Let every heart declare that to the Lord we belong.

In the name of the Lord, we will not be afraid.

For the name of the Lord is our refuge, our strength, our aid.

In the name of the Lord—we rise, we stand, we go.

His name is power, love, and truth, the only name we know.

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)

Amen.
