This week’s featured song story comes to us from Rend Collective. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their brand new song “Your Name Is Power.”
“When we started writing this song we were asking a lot of questions. ‘Is there any hope among the darkness? Is there any right among the wrong?’ We were coming from that place looking around the world and looking at our own situations, asking those questions. And then we realized that in times of uncertainty, yes there are questions but what we need to do as the church and as individuals is to proclaim truth. And so we actually changed things in the first verse to say ‘You’re the answer in the darkness. You’re the right among the wrong.’ And that for us gave us so much more purpose and strength because as congregations we need to stand up, be bold, proclaim and declare the truth in the darkness rather than retreating and getting lost within our thoughts and questions. This whole song is about God’s name. What He does. What He says. Your Name Is Power.” – Rend Collective

“Your Name Is Power” Lyrics
Verse 1
You’re the only answer to the darkness
You’re the only right among the wrong
You’re the only hope among the chaos
You are the voice that calls me on
Pre-Chorus
Louder than every lie
My sword in every fight
The truth will chase away the night
Chorus
Your name is power over darkness
Freedom for the captives
Mercy for the broken and the hopeless
Your name is faithful in the battle
Glory in the struggle
Mighty it won’t let us down or fail us
Your name is power
Verse 2
I know It is written, hope is certain
I know that The Word will never fail
I know that in every situation
You speak the power to prevail
Bridge
When You speak You scatter darkness
Light arrives and heaven opens
Holy Spirit
Let us hear it
When You speak the church awakens
We believe the change is coming
Holy Spirit
Let us see it
