Put His Name on the Problem

Lyrics

# PUT HIS NAME ON THE PROBLEM

[Intro]

[Hammond B3 growl, hard piano chords, driving drums, bass locked deep]

[Lead]
You’ve been calling the problem
by its name all week.

Calling the bill by its name.
Calling the trouble by its name.
Calling the person by their name.

Tonight—

put another name on it.

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Lead]
I said put His name on it!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Verse 1]

[Lead]
When trouble walked into my house
I didn’t know how it would end

Had everybody giving opinions
but nobody could fix a thing

I finally stopped rehearsing
everything that might go wrong

And remembered Philippians says
God gave Jesus a name
above every name

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
Above the fear!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
Above the trouble!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
Above every name
that tried to make me afraid!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Chorus]

[Lead]
Put His name on the problem!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
Put His name on the trouble!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
When you don’t know what to do!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
When you don’t know who to call!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
There is power in that name!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Verse 2]

[Lead]
Acts chapter four says,
“Neither is there salvation in any other”

“For there is none other name
under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved.”

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
That name ain’t decoration!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
That name ain’t just
something we say in church!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
That name carries authority!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Minister Break]

[Band drops to organ and handclaps]

[Lead]
Now listen.

Calling Jesus
doesn’t mean you ignore reality.

Handle what needs handling.

Make the call.

Pay what you can pay.

Tell the truth.

Make the appointment.

Apologize if you were wrong.

But while you’re handling it—

don’t handle it without Him.

Proverbs 3 says,
“In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.”

So bring Jesus into it.

Into the meeting.

Into the decision.

Into the argument
before it becomes something worse.

Into the temptation
before you give it an answer.

Into the house
when everybody is pulling apart.

[Choir]
Bring Jesus in!

[Lead]
Into my money!

[Choir]
Bring Jesus in!

[Lead]
Into my family!

[Choir]
Bring Jesus in!

[Lead]
Into my choices!

[Choir]
Bring Jesus in!

[Lead]
Into every place
I’ve been trying to manage without Him!

[Choir]
BRING JESUS IN!

[Chorus]

[Lead]
Put His name on the problem!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
Put His name on the trouble!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
When fear starts talking!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
When anger starts rising!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
Before you make the wrong move!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Drive]

[Full band explodes]

[Lead]
Family trouble!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Lead]
Money trouble!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Lead]
Confusion!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Lead]
Temptation!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Lead]
Bad decision!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Lead]
Fear at midnight!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Lead]
Pressure on the job!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Lead]
Children going the wrong way!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Lead]
Don’t know what tomorrow holds!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Lead]
Who are you calling?

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Lead]
Call Him again!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Prayer]

[Band falls underneath the lead]

[Lead]
Father, in the name of Jesus,

step into every situation
represented by the people listening.

Where confusion has taken over,
give clear direction.

Where families are divided,
bring truth into the room
and teach them how to hear one another.

Where somebody is making decisions
out of fear,
slow them down.

Where somebody is being tempted
to return to something
You already delivered them from,
remind them why they left.

Give wisdom with money.

Give discipline with words.

Give courage where obedience is difficult.

And when we cannot change
what is happening around us,
change how we stand inside of it.

We put our trust
not merely in a better outcome—

but in Jesus Christ.

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Lead]
The name above every name!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Final Vamp]

[Lead]
Say His name!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
When you’re walking in!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
When you’re walking out!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
When you need wisdom!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
When you need restraint!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
When you need another chance!

[Choir]
Jesus!

[Lead]
When you need salvation!

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Lead]
At that name—

[Choir]
Every knee shall bow!

[Lead]
At that name—

[Choir]
Every tongue confess!

[Lead]
Who is Lord?

[Choir]
JESUS CHRIST!

[Outro]

[Lead]
You know the problem’s name.

You’ve said it enough.

Now say the name
that stands above it.

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Lead]
Put His name on it.

[Choir]
JESUS!

[Lead]
One more time.

[Choir]
JESUS!
