Have you ever been so overwhelmed, you can't find the words to pray?
With a drowning feeling in your soul, like you're being swept away?
You want to run away and hide; to escape the constant stress,
And it seems as if your entire world...is one big jumbled mess?
Your heart says "trust"...your eyes ask "why?"...your brain is "out to
lunch"
The problems aren't in singular form, they're coming by the bunch!
Your heart says "hope"...your eyes ask "when"...your brain is in "reverse"
Your joy gets "zapped", so your strength does too, which only makes things
worse
When you're on the verge of giving up and your "towel is almost tossed"
When the only math that you are doing...is counting what you've lost
Stop.........be still.........be very quiet.........and let the Spirit flow
Peace will come, when you call out...the sweetest name you know
I, for one, have been through times when words cannot convey
The depth of pain that leaves you breathless with nothing left to say
A "majestic prayer" is not an option, when your spirit gets so low
So just speak the name of Jesus Christ...the sweetest name you know
Just the sound of his sweet name is enough to calm your fears
Just the whisper of his name is enough to dry your tears
It's a one word prayer, so full of power, it's all you need to say
For the sweetest name above all names...is still as strong today
The name of Jesus shines a light that darkness can't put out
So speak it as a shield of faith, to repel any thoughts of doubt
Sing his name in praise and worship; the melody is so sweet
Shout it as you stand your ground...to show you won't retreat
"Jesus loves me this I know" is a basic, simple song
But the truth behind those precious words, will last your whole life long
So when you face a "winter season" where nothing seems to grow
Just keep on planting, don't look back and say the sweetest name you know.
