Say My Name
Holyghost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Taking up the shield of faith
To quench the fiery darts that the wicked spray
Casting down all thoughts that the devil say
The Holy Spirit dwells in me Lord have your way
Your the potter I'm the clay
I yield to your masterpiece
Before the world thou already lovest me
Painted my life with the blood of your Son
Know I already won cause you see Jesus when you look at me
Oh what a place to be
Right hand of the most high
Draped in His salvation when ya most fly
This bloodwear was a gift the price was too high
The Good Shepherd had to die just so He could buy
Me and you
Then rose on the third day
Truth in this wordplay
All things point to Jesus Christ that's what word say
I'm living proof He'll love you on ya worst day
And accept you in the worst case, Jesus love you

(Yeah) Jesus the one who really love you, say yo name
Jesus loves say yo name, say yo name
Jesus loves say yo name, say yo name (Hallelujah)
Preach to em

What you can't see is eternal and what you can is temporal
What's the point here's the moral
Everything you see as real will soon fade away
And what you can't lasts forever never to decay
He giving you life everlasting right here today
So let the prophet drop knowledge before you turn away
The love of Jesus is the truth and the only way
Up to the Father in heaven please don't walk away hell is real
First off, you got a spirit and a soul don't you
And without those you know you not whole don't you
Now wouldn't you agree that your being made of three
And the parts most real are the ones you can't see
Lord use me to open eyes
Only you can bind the lies
And let loose your Holy truth
The word of God is the proof
That salvation is the seeing key
So believe in your heart and repeat after me

Father in the name of Jesus
I come to your throne confessing with my mouth
And believing in my heart that Jesus is your Son
And Lord and Savior of the world
I believe he bore my sins, died on the cross and rose again as proof that I am forgiven
I am sorry Father
For I have sinned but now I am no longer a sinner
Because I accept your gift of righteousness by faith
I also ask and receive your gift of the Holy Spirit




Thank you Father for your gift, grace, and mercy
In Jesus name amen
