This song follows a Contemporary Gospel / R&B structure. Think of a steady, rhythmic groove that starts intimate and builds into a powerful, choir-backed anthem.
## Title: Power in the Name of Jesus
Vibe: Mid-tempo, Soulful, Empowering
Instrumentation: Rhodes piano, rhythmic bass, and a steady 4/4 drum pocket.

(Intro)
(Soft piano chords with a slight synth swell)
(Vocalizing: There is power... oh, such power...)
(Verse 1)
I’ve seen the mountains that looked too high to climb
I’ve felt the pressure of a world running out of time
But when the wind begins to howl and the shadows start to creep
There’s a promise in my spirit that I’m gonna keep
It’s not a secret formula, it’s not a magic phrase
It’s the foundation of my life for all of my days.
(Pre-Chorus)
It’s the sound that makes the darkness tremble
The only name where the broken ones assemble
Every knee’s gonna bow, every tongue will confess
The only answer for the heart in distress.
(Chorus)
There is power in the name of Jesus
Breaking every chain that tries to seize us
There is healing in the sound, mercy to be found
Lifting every heavy head up off the ground
No other name can save, no other name can free
The King of Kings, He got the victory!
(Power... in the name of Jesus.)
(Verse 2)
He speaks a word and the stormy seas go still
He gave His life to prove the Father’s will
From the valley of the shadow to the highest peak
He’s the strength for the weary and the help for the weak
I don’t have to walk in fear, I don’t have to hide
When I call upon the One who’s standing by my side.
(Bridge)
(Music intensifies—add organ and driving percussion)
(Call and Response with Choir)
Lead: At the name of Jesus!
Choir: Demons have to flee!
Lead: At the name of Jesus!
Choir: The blind are gonna see!
Lead: It’s the name above all names!
Choir: Forever He shall reign!
Lead: There’s power!
Choir: Power!
Lead: Wonder-working power!
Choir: Power!
(Guitar/Keyboards Solo)
(High-energy, soulful transition back to the chorus)
(Chorus)
There is power in the name of Jesus
Breaking every chain that tries to seize us
There is healing in the sound, mercy to be found
Lifting every heavy head up off the ground
No other name can save, no other name can free
The King of Kings, He got the victory!
(Outro)
(Music strips back to just the beat and piano)
Jesus... (Jesus)
There’s just something about that name.
It’s the name that changed my life.
It’s the name that paid the price.
Power... (Power)
Yeah, it’s in the name.
(Final chord rings out)
