THERE IS ONE NAME UNDER HEAVEN
By which men can be saved
Jesus alone
Only one name under heaven
Jesus, and Jesus alone
One sacrifice
One holy Lamb
Shed His own blood
Paid for my sin
And this righteous One
God’s only Son
I sing my praises to Him
I sing my praises to Him
There is one way to the Father
and His merciful throne
Jesus alone
Only one way, to the Father
Jesus and Jesus alone
Robert Critchley
