Resurrection in Jesus: A Gospel Song on the Power in the Name of Jesus - Every Knee Shall Bow
About Resurrection in Jesus
Resurrection in Jesus is a new gospel song and part of the Resurrection Power EP that takes a single truth and drives it through the entire book of Acts — there is power, real and present, in the name of Jesus by Malachi Ben-David. Scripture-rooted gospel music with a rising, declarative energy, built for anyone who needs to be reminded that the same name that healed the lame man at the temple gate still breaks every bondage today. If you're looking for a gospel song, a song about the name of Jesus, or an Easter anthem that moves from the apostles' miracles to the empty tomb, this is a song written for the room that needs to declare the authority it's been given. Rooted in Acts 3, Acts 5, Acts 16, Matthew 28, Romans 8:11, and Philippians 2:9-11, Resurrection in Jesus moves from the temple gate to the shaken prison to the risen Son, and lands on the promise that at that name, every knee shall bow.
Drawn from Acts 3:1-16, Acts 5:12-16, Acts 16:25-26, Matthew 28:1-10, Romans 8:11, and Philippians 2:9-11, this gospel music release is a theologically grounded declaration of the authority of Jesus' name — the name that healed, delivered, opened prison doors, defeated death, and now dwells in every heart that calls on it. "At the sound of that name every knee shall bow, every tongue confess He is Lord right now." It is a gospel song for Easter services, healing and deliverance gatherings, and any moment a believer needs to stand on the power they've been given in the name of Jesus. Its refrain never wavers: resurrection power flowing, resurrection power now.
Lyrics for Resurrection in Jesus
RESURRECTION IN JESUS Malachi Ben-David
Verse 1 Peter stood before the lame man at the temple gate, Silver and gold he had none, but faith would not wait. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise and walk! Legs once feeble now leaped with joy — behold the power of the talk. Acts three declares it clear, the name above all names, Brought healing, brought deliverance, set the captive flames.
Verse 2 Through the apostles mighty signs were wrought among the people, Shadows passing over brought relief to those in trouble. Acts five records the wonder, the sick were healed in throngs, All because the name of Jesus carried heaven's songs. Even prison doors flew open when they praised His holy name, Earthquake shook the foundations — chains could not remain.
Verse 3 When the stone was rolled away on that glorious morning light, The tomb stood empty, angels spoke: "He is not here, He's risen right!" Matthew twenty-eight proclaims the victory complete, Death defeated, sin forgiven — hell lies at His feet. Now the same Spirit dwells within every heart that calls His name, Romans eight eleven quickening fire, forever the same.
Chorus Power in the name of Jesus! Breaking every bondage, setting captives free! Power in the name of Jesus! Raising up the lowly, bringing life to me! At the sound of that name every knee shall bow, Every tongue confess He is Lord right now. Power in the name of Jesus — Resurrection power flowing, resurrection power now!
Final Chorus Power in the name of Jesus! Empty grave declaring victory is won! Power in the name of Jesus! We are more than conquerors through the risen Son! Philippians two nine through eleven seals the truth we sing, The name exalted high above everything. Power in the name of Jesus — Resurrection power rising, resurrection power within!
Behind the Song
Resurrection in Jesus opens at a temple gate with a beggar and two apostles who have nothing in their pockets. "Peter stood before the lame man at the temple gate, silver and gold he had none, but faith would not wait." Acts 3 — the man lame from birth, carried daily to beg, who asked for coins and received something no coin could buy. "In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise and walk!" The song catches the exact words Peter spoke, because the words are the point. Peter didn't heal the man. The name did. As a gospel song, Resurrection in Jesus establishes its whole thesis in the first verse: the authority was never in the apostle. It was in the name he invoked.
"Legs once feeble now leaped with joy — behold the power of the talk." The man went walking and leaping and praising God, and the crowd that gathered gave Peter the opening for the sermon that follows — where he says plainly that it was the name of Jesus, through faith in His name, that made the man strong. The song names it: "Acts three declares it clear, the name above all names, brought healing, brought deliverance, set the captive flames." This is gospel music doing theology — the name of Jesus isn't a magic word; it's the authority of the risen Christ made available to those who believe.
The second verse widens the lens to the whole apostolic church. "Through the apostles mighty signs were wrought among the people, shadows passing over brought relief to those in trouble." Acts 5:12-16 — the season when Peter's very shadow falling across the sick was enough, when people carried the afflicted into the streets hoping he would pass by. "Acts five records the wonder, the sick were healed in throngs." Then the song reaches for Acts 16: "Even prison doors flew open when they praised His holy name, earthquake shook the foundations — chains could not remain." Paul and Silas at midnight, singing praises with their feet in the stocks, when the earthquake came and every door opened and every chain fell off. The name doesn't only heal bodies. It shakes foundations.
The third verse is where the song reveals the source of all that power. "When the stone was rolled away on that glorious morning light, the tomb stood empty, angels spoke: 'He is not here, He's risen right!'" Matthew 28 — the resurrection is the reason the name carries power. The lame man walked, the prison doors flew open, the sick were healed in throngs, all because the One whose name they invoked had conquered death itself. "Death defeated, sin forgiven — hell lies at His feet." And then the turn that ties this song to the whole Resurrection Power EP: "Now the same Spirit dwells within every heart that calls His name, Romans eight eleven quickening fire, forever the same." The power that raised Christ isn't distant. It's indwelling. The same fire that emptied the tomb lives in the believer.
Then the chorus becomes a declaration of authority. "Power in the name of Jesus! Breaking every bondage, setting captives free!" This is the sound the whole song was building toward — not a request but a proclamation. "At the sound of that name every knee shall bow, every tongue confess He is Lord right now." Philippians 2:10-11 arrives as the chorus's climax: the name that is above every name, at which every knee in heaven and earth and under the earth will bow. As a gospel song about the name of Jesus, Resurrection in Jesus doesn't treat that future bowing as distant — it says "right now," because the authority is already established even if the universal acknowledgment is still coming.
The final chorus seals it with the doctrine stated outright. "We are more than conquerors through the risen Son! Philippians two nine through eleven seals the truth we sing, the name exalted high above everything." Romans 8:37 — more than conquerors — set beside the exaltation of Philippians 2. As a new gospel song and part of the Resurrection Power EP, this song closes where the power actually resides: "resurrection power rising, resurrection power within." The name that healed the lame man at the gate, that shook the prison at midnight, that emptied the tomb on Easter morning — that name has been given to the believer. And there is power in it. Right now.
Biblical Background
Resurrection in Jesus is built on the book of Acts' demonstration of the authority of Jesus' name, moving from apostolic miracles through the resurrection to the universal exaltation of Philippians 2. Its first account rests on Acts 3:1-16 — the healing of the lame man at the temple gate called Beautiful, where Peter declares, "In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk," and later attributes the healing entirely to faith in that name. The second verse draws on Acts 5:12-16 (the apostles' many signs and wonders, the sick healed as Peter's shadow passed) and Acts 16:25-26 (Paul and Silas praising God at midnight, the earthquake that opened the prison doors and loosed every chain).
The third verse turns to the source of that power: Matthew 28:1-10, the empty tomb and the angel's announcement, "He is not here: for he is risen." Romans 8:11 then brings the resurrection power into the believer — the Spirit that raised Jesus now dwelling within, the tie that binds this song to the Resurrection Power EP. The chorus rests on Philippians 2:9-11 — God has highly exalted Christ and given Him the name above every name, at which every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord — with Romans 8:37 ("more than conquerors") sealing the final chorus. Supporting the whole is Acts 4:12, "neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name." Every reference is listed below in KJV, in the order the song moves through it.
