Sovereign Grace Music - The Gospel Was Promised

[Verse 1]

The gospel was promised by sages and prophets

Predestined to seek us

But just as was spoken,

The grave could not hold Him

The glorious Son of God

His name is Jesus

His name is Jesus Christ, our Lord

All for the sake of His name

We’re no longer strangers

For Jesus, our Savior

We’re called to be holy
A
And now we live only
Bm F#m D
To make His glory known

His name is Jesus

His name is Jesus Christ, our Lord
