They say
That He was just a man
They say
He had the strangest plan
That His love would set the captives free
And He would give life eternally

They say His words just can't be true
And they say
"How can He make us new?"
But I know that I've been born again
He washed my soul and from our sins
I'm cleansed

So let them say that it's a passing thing
Oh, but my life has changed
No, I'm not the same
The seasons pass and the flowers fade
But what I found in Christ shall never pass away
Never pass away

They say thousands can be fed
And they say with a few fish and some bread
But I know His miracles are true, oh, yes
And what He's done for me
Only Christ can do

So let them say that it's a passing thing
Well, my life has changed
No, I'm not the same
Whoa, seasons pass and the flowers fade
But what I found in Christ shall never pass away, yeah
Oh, yeah, never pass away

Let them talk
Let them talk
Let them talk
Let them talk about me
Let them talk about me, yeah
I'm gonna praise His name

I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care what they say about me
No, no, no, no
I'm gonna praise His name

Jesus
(His name is Jesus)
Jesus
(He's a bright and morning star)
Jesus
(Jesus)
Jesus
(He's right on time)

Jesus
(Jesus)
Talking 'bout Jesus
I'm gonna praise His name
(Gonna praise His name, Hallelujah)

Jesus
(Jesus, my Lord)
Jesus
(Jesus, my Lord)
Jesus
(Jesus, my Lord)

Jesus
(Jesus, my Lord)
Jesus
(Jesus, Jesus)
Jesus
I'm gonna praise His name
(Hallelujah!)

(The bright and morning star)
Jesus
(The lily of the valley)

Jesus
(Salvation is in His Name)
Talking 'bout Jesus
I'm gonna praise His name
(We're gonna praise His name)
