I Know a Name

Last updated

"When I recognize my own insufficiency, I make room for the One who is all-sufficient to step in. I don’t have enough wisdom, don’t know how to get over this anxiety, don’t know if I’ve got enough strength to keep fighting, but I know the One who does. His name is Jesus and he holds all authority in heaven and on earth."

The song is written in the key of C with a tempo of 86 beats per minutes and a time signature of 6
