There is no other name than Jesus, no other you can trust
As you lift your hands and voices the joy of worship is a must
You take each day and lift your burdens to heaven for surrender
Knowing there is no other that will receive them and return the heavenly splendor
A refreshing ointment flows over you and refreshes you like no other pleasure can
Look to Jesus and keep your devotion strong and in your heart love will span
The gaps that leave you apart from the other sins of this world all around
Hold fast to the prayers you lift up for others because their lives your prayers will surround
And they will add comfort and direction to the ones that are in need
Your dedication to prayer and worship will help others to succeed
There is no other name to call out when there is stress in your life
Jesus is the one who will be there for you in every situation and remove the strife
When there is no other to turn to lift your face to heaven and ask Me
My presence will fall upon you and change all that you are so others may see
There is no other you can trust to be at your side through life to eternity
All peace and joy heaven will release to cover your life and bring you the joy of serenity
(Mark 12:29 – 32 NRSV) 29 – Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one 30 – you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31 – The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” 32 – Then the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that ‘he is one, and besides him there is no other’;
(Acts 4:12 NRSV) There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved.”
(Rom 13:9 NRSV) The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not covet”; and any other commandment, are summed up in this word, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
(1 Cor 3:11 NRSV) For no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ.
(1 Cor 14:2 NRSV) For those who speak in a tongue do not speak to other people but to God; for nobody understands them, since they are speaking mysteries in the Spirit.
(Col 3:13 NRSV) Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
