And this power is within us

I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus' Name

Christ alone cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior's love
Through the storm He is Lord

I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
My anchor holds within the veil

When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless stand before the throne
Tremble

Peace bring it all to peace
The storms surrounding me
Let it break at Your name

Still call the sea to still
The rage in me to still
Every wave at Your name

Jesus Jesus You silence fear
Jesus Jesus You make the darkness tremble
Jesus Jesus
Verse 3
Breathe call these bones to live
Call these lungs to sing
Once again I will praise

Your name is a light
that the shadows can't deny
Your name cannot be overcome
Your name is alive forever lifted high
Your name cannot be overcome
