Authority (In the Name of Jesus) by Stars Go Dim

Monday, 16 January 2023 by Taylor Benton

We are always excited to introduce our listening family to new music here at KAMB. So many things battle for our attention every day, and we are thrilled when you choose to spend time with us. While there are often new artists to share with you, it is just as fun to reveal new songs from KAMB favorites. As the new year continues to unfold, be sure to keep an ear open for Authority (In the Name of Jesus) by Stars Go Dim.

Stars Go Dim

Stars Go Dim originally formed in 2007 as a band but the name now only refers to Chris Cleveland, an original band member. Over the years, Cleveland worked with the then secular band and as a worship leader for Tulsa’s Asbury United Methodist Church. In 2015, Stars Go Dim gained vast attention with a debut CCM album released under the same name. From it came the no. 1 hit “You Are Loved” and other popular songs. Following such great success, Stars Go Dim has received several awards and many additional nominations (including Billboards and Dove). Since the CCM debut, Starts Go Dim has also performed with both pop and Christian artists around the world. In addition to his own music, Cleveland has also written songs played by other artists. Stars Go Dim’s latest hit, however, is a new song called Authority (In the Name of Jesus).

Authority (In the Name of Jesus)

Authority (In the Name of Jesus) is yet another lively declaration of truth from Stars Go Dim. Every lyric speaks to the miraculous power of God. The song begins with examples drawn directly from God’s Word before confronting the trials that plague us daily. There is truth for the lies, hope for the fear, and wholeness for the brokenness. And all of these answers are found in Jesus. As the song’s name promises, Authority (In the Name of Jesus) is the focus here.

By starting the song with biblical examples, Stars Go Dim first reminds us of exactly who our God is. We serve the same God who performed unbelievable miracles in the Bible, the most important being Jesus’ resurrection. The authority God demonstrated in calling Jesus back from the dead is the same authority living in us today. If nothing could defeat Him then, nothing is going to defeat Him now. And it is because of Jesus that we can boldly stand upon such truth and promise. Just as Stars Go Dim claims in Authority (In the Name of Jesus), something happens when we speak in the name of Jesus.

Lyrics

You move the mountains and you split the sea
You called the dead man up to live and breathe
The same authority's alive in me
So I'll move the mountains, and I'll split the sea
I speak to the lies
Truth in the name of Jesus
I speak to the fear
Hope in the name of Jesus
I speak to the brokenness
Wholeness in the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
When I'm surrounded and I cannot stand
When insecurities are creeping in (are creeping in)
I won't bow down to any fear of man
'Cause He who is within me is the great I am
I speak to the lies
Truth in the name of Jesus
I speak to the fear
Hope in the name of Jesus
I speak to the brokenness
Wholeness in the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
Something happens when we sing Your praises
Something happens and the whole room changes
It's the power of Your name, oh the name of Jesus
Something happens when we sing Your praises
Something happens and the whole room changes
It's the power of Your name, oh the name of Jesus
Something happens when we sing Your praises
Something happens and the whole room changes
It's the power of Your name, oh the name of Jesus, oh I
I speak to the lies
Truth in the name of Jesus
I speak to the fear
Hope in the name of Jesus
I speak to the brokenness
Wholeness in the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
I speak to the lies
Truth in the name of Jesus
I speak to the fear
Hope in the name of Jesus
I speak to the brokenness
Wholeness in the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus

Conclusion

Despite the darkness we often encounter, we are never without hope because of the One who saved us. We are no longer helpless victims to our circumstances but living testimonies to the power and authority of God. Jesus is the measure of God’s love for us. It is because of Him that we can boldly stand upon the promises our Lord has made.
