Something About the Name Jesus Lyrics

Hallelujah, young people
There's nothin' wrong with dancin' for Jesus
But we can't forget where we come from

So if you don't mind
Let's have a little o' church right now
Thank you, Jesus, listen

Something about the name Jesus
Something about the name Jesus
It is the sweetest name I know

Oh, how I love the name Jesus
Oh, how I love the name Jesus
It is the sweetest name I know

Some people say I'm crazy
But I can't explain
The power that I feel when, oh
When I call Your name

Said it's just like fire
Shot up in my bones
The Holy Ghost is movin', yes, it is
And just won't leave me alone
Oh, there's something

Something about the name Jesus
Something about the name Jesus
It is the sweetest name I know

Oh how I love the name Jesus
Oh how I love the name Jesus
It is the sweetest name I know

Said, it's sweeter than honey
From the honeycomb
I can feel the Holy Ghost movin'
And it won't leave me alone

At the name of Jesus
Every knee has got to bow
So you don't have to wait till the fire comes
You can call Him, shout, praise Him
Do it now

Something about the name Jesus
Something about the name Jesus
It is the sweetest name I know

Oh, how I love the name Jesus
Oh, how I love the name Jesus
It is the sweetest name I know
I know, I know, I know

Something about the name Jesus
Something about the name Jesus
It is the sweetest name I know

Oh, how I love the name Jesus
Oh, how I love the name Jesus
It is the sweetest name I know

Oh ooh oh ooh oh, oh ooh oh ooh oh
It is the sweetest name
Oh ooh oh ooh oh, oh ooh oh ooh oh
It is the sweetest name

Oh ooh oh ooh oh, oh ooh oh ooh oh
It is the sweetest name
Oh ooh oh ooh oh, oh ooh oh ooh oh
It is the sweetest name

Can I tell you about that name?
There's power in that name
Can't nobody do what He does
Oh, I love the name Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Kirk Franklin (born January 26, 1970 in Riverside, Texas) is a platinum-selling musician who blended gospel, hip hop, and R&B in the 1990s. He released his first gospel album, Kirk Franklin & Family, in 1993, and is known as the leader of contemporary gospel choirs such as Kirk Franklin & the Family, Kirk Franklin's Nu Nation, and God's Property.


A native of Fort Worth, Texas, he was raised by his aunt, Gertrude Franklin. He developed a talent for music early, playing the piano at age four and becoming music director of his church at age eleven. After getting kicked out of school in his teenaged years, having a girlfriend become pregnant, and after a friend was shot to death he returned to the church. After leading the DFW Mass Choir at the 1990 Gospel Music Workshop of America Convention, he organized "The Family", a seventeen-voice choir, in 1992 and began his recording career.

He has integrated hip hop styles with gospel themes in albums such as The Nu Nation Project and God's Property, which achieved success on the Billboard Pop Album, R&B and gospel charts.
Franklin has collaborated with the biggest names in gospel music, including Tonex, Donnie McClurkin, Richard Smallwood, Crystal Lewis, Pastor Shirley Caesar, Jaci Valesquez, and Willie Neal Johnson. He also has displayed a willingness to collaborate with artists in the secular realm, including Bono, Mary J. Blige, Crystal Lewis, and R Kelly in the hit single, "Lean on Me."
