In Jesus' name some have built their glass cathedrals,
In his name others sacrificed their lives,
Some may say too few of us obey, oh yeah, in this work we're meant to do: to live a life that's true.
Still, I see that shining light, like a flame against the dark,
It's the holy love of God burning in our hearts,
And this lost and lonely world will never be the same because of what we do, oh, in Jesus' name.
In Jesus' name some have fought for foolish causes,
In his name others trust the power of peace,
If only he was all the world could see, oh yeah, they would clamour at our door, find the life they hunger for.
But, I see that shining light, like a flame against the dark,
It's the holy love of God burning in our hearts,
And this lost and lonely world, it will never be the same, oh no, because of what we do, all in Jesus' name.
Yeah.
Mercy is a miracle by which we stand, yeah,
Mercy that comes pouring down through nail-scarred hands,
Mercy pouring down through nail-scarred hands, yeah.
And I see that shining light, like a flame against the dark,
It's the holy love of God burning in our hearts,
And I know this lonely world will never be the same because of what we do, oh, in Jesus' name, yeah,
All because of what we do, oh, in Jesus' name.
