In the Name of the Lord
Hillsong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let the poor say, "I am rich"
Let the blind say, "I can see"
It's what the lord has done in me
Let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich"
Let the blind say, "I can see"
Hosanna, hosanna
To the lamb that was slain
Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again
Into the river I will wade
And there my sins are washed away
From the heavens mercy streams
Of the savior's love for me
Hosanna, hosanna
To the lamb that was slain
Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again
Hosanna, hosanna
To the lamb that was slain
Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again
And I will rise from waters deep
Into the saving arms of god
And I will sing salvation songs
Jesus christ has set me free
Hosanna, hosanna
To the lamb that was slain
Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again
Hosanna, hosanna
To the lamb that was slain
Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again
He rose again, oh oh
The lyrics to Hillsong's "In the Name of the Lord" are a powerful proclamation of the transformative power of Jesus in our lives. The repetition of the phrases "Let the weak say, 'I am strong' / Let the poor say, 'I am rich' / Let the blind say, 'I can see'" highlights the idea that in Christ, we are no longer defined by our weaknesses or limitations, but rather by the strength and abundance that He provides. The song encourages listeners to declare boldly what the Lord has done in them, and to recognize that salvation and freedom come not from our own efforts, but from Jesus' sacrifice on the cross.
The second half of the song shifts to praise and worship, with the repeated refrain of "Hosanna, hosanna / To the lamb that was slain / Hosanna, hosanna / Jesus died and rose again." This is a direct reference to the Biblical story of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, where He was greeted with shouts of "Hosanna!" by the crowds. The song encourages us to join in that chorus of praise, acknowledging Jesus' death and resurrection as the ultimate expression of God's saving love.
Overall, "In the Name of the Lord" is a powerful reminder that we are transformed by the grace of God, and that our strength, wealth, and vision all come from Him. The song encourages us to boldly declare what He has done in us, and to join together in worship and praise to the One who has set us free.

Were is the name of Adonai?🤔
That word lord/adonai is not a name: It's a title.
God/elohim is not a name, it's a title; god is plural.
Lord/adonai is Ba'al.
Christianity is ba'al worship.
All religions are wiles of the devils.
God is satan.
For the wages of transgression/wickedness (sin) is death.
