The Gospel Was Promised

[Verse 1]
A
The gospel was promised by sages and prophets
D/A                       A     Asus2
 The Scriptures spoke of a Son
  A
Descendant of David, and yet uncreated
D/A                           A
 Clothed in our flesh He would come
   F#m         E
Predestined to seek us
   A
He took on our weakness
Bm            F#m         D
 And died our death on the cross
    F#m         E
But just as was spoken,
    A
The grave could not hold Him
Bm            F#m        D
 The glorious Son of God
 
[Chorus]
            A
His name is Jesus
            E
His name is Jesus
            F#m7         Dsus2     A
His name is Jesus Christ, our Lord
 
[Verse 2]
A
We’re loved and forgiven, compelled by a vision
D/A                 A        Asus2
 To see His mercy proclaimed
  A
Announcing salvation to every nation
D/A                     A     Asus2
 All for the sake of His name
      F#m       E
We’re no longer strangers
    A
For Jesus, our Savior
Bm           F#m        D
 Has come to make us His own
      F#m          E
We’re called to be holy
    A
And now we live only
Bm           F#m         D
 To make His glory known
 
[Chorus]
            A
His name is Jesus
            E
His name is Jesus
            F#m7         Dsus2     A
His name is Jesus Christ, our Lord

His name is Jesus Christ, our Lord
