His Name Is Jesus! (New Song)

Michael E. Wood
October 8, 2013

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. Psalm 51:17

While contemplating the fact, that it is God which gives a new heart through the sacrifice of Christ which brings about brokenness over sin, this new song was written.

Only God can make a heart
That’s truly broken over sin.
A Holy God has made the way
To make us pure and clean within.
And only God could offer up
Himself to make the covering;
Sufficient purchase by His blood
Upon His cross of suffering.

His Name is Jesus!
He is the Christ; the crucified!
And only Jesus
By His own death with which He died
Could ever take the guilt and shame
And for our sake take all the blame.
His Name is Jesus!
His Name is Jesus!

Only God can justify
Ungodly souls before the throne.
A Holy God is satisfied
By only One who did atone.
And only God could give us
Access by true faith into this grace.
And we rejoice in hope to see
The glory of our Savior’s face.

His Name is Jesus!
He was condemned to set us free.
And only Jesus,
Both God and man upon the tree,
Could as the Just One, justify.
And it was “finished” when He cried!
His Name is Jesus!
His Name is Jesus!

Only God can take the mess
We made and work it for our good.
A Holy God, who is Omniscient,
Planned before Creation stood.
And only God can make anew
All things, who reigns above as King,
And see’s the smile upon our Father’s face
As we to Him now sing.

His Name is Jesus!
He will return in victory!
And only Jesus
Has conquered every enemy.
With all the angels shout His praise,
As all His children, He will raise.
His Name is Jesus!
His Name is Jesus!
