I KNOW A NAME by ANONYMOUS

First Line: I KNOW A SOUL THAT IS STEEPED IN SIN
Last Line: THAT WILL SET THOSE LANDS ON FIRE
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
I know a soul that is steeped in sin,
That no man's art can cure;
But I know a Name, a Name, a Name,
That can make that soul all pure.

I know a life that is lost to God,
Bound down by things of earth;
But I know a Name, a Name, a Name,
That can bring that soul new birth.

I know of lands that are sunk in shame,
Of hearts that faint and tire;
But I know a Name, a Name, a Name,
That can set those lands on fire.
Its sound is a brand, its letters flame,
I know a Name, a Name, a Name,
That will set those lands on fire.
