The Name Lives On

Intro: D Bm A

D#                                         A#
It stands to reason that a name is just a word.
           D#                 Gm
It can be easily forgotten just as soon as it is heard.
    Cm                               A#/D
But one name was spoken before the world's first day
                D#                          D#
And it will be here when everything that is has passed away.

Chorus 

A#
Delivered from the lips of God
F
To Mary's ears on angel wings 
Gm     F
Jesus, Jesus.
A#
The word that came to life for us. 
F
The song that all creation sings.
Gm      F
Jesus, Jesus.
              D#                          F        Gm
The proudest nations of the earth have come and gone
    Cm F                   G# D# A#
But Jesus, the name lives on.


          D#                        A#
When I'm awakened by a terrifying dream
D#                                Gm
And desperation reaches up and clutches me
        Cm                            A#/D
When I am so afraid that I don't even know what to pray
        D#                             D#
I simply speak it and feel it and it chases fear away.

Chorus 

G#                               D#
Eternal hope and promise, the ever-breaking dawn
Cm                          G
When time itself is over, the name lives on.
