About this song
Ordinary men stand before powerful rulers and answer a question about the source of their authority. The rejected stone becomes the center of their testimony, giving the song its bold confession of salvation in Jesus.
Lyrics
INTRO
(fiddle and guitar)
VERSE 1
They stood before the rulers,
Plain men from Galilee,
The council asked them sternly,
"By what name or power are these?"
And Peter, filled with the Spirit,
Answered without fear:
"The stone that you rejected
Is the cornerstone right here."
CHORUS
There is no other name
Under heaven given among men,
By which we must be saved
But Jesus, Jesus, now and then.
No other name, no other name,
Only Jesus, Lord of all.
VERSE 2
They saw their boldness, marveled,
For these were common men;
They knew they'd been with Jesus,
And the healed one stood with them.
"We cannot help but speaking
Of what we've seen and heard;
Judge if it's right before God
To obey you more than His word."
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Sovereign Lord, who made the heavens,
The earth and the sea,
The nations raged against Your Christ,
Yet did what You decreed.
Now look upon their threatenings,
And grant Your servants this:
To speak Your word with boldness
While Your hand heals and sends.
VERSE 3
The place where they were praying
Was shaken by His power;
They spoke the word with boldness,
One heart in that hour.
No one called his goods his own,
Great grace was on them all;
And still the church is gathered
Around that name to call.
FINAL CHORUS
OUTRO
Only Jesus, Lord of all.
