[Verse 1]
At the Beautiful Gate he waited,
Lame from birth and carried there.
Silver from the temple pilgrims
Was the measure of his prayer.
Peter looked and called attention:
No silver, no gold in hand.
What he had was given freely;
The command made dead limbs stand.
[Chorus]
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
Rise and walk.
Strength entered feet and ankle bones;
He leapt beyond the gate and talked.
Walking, leaping, praising God,
The whole court heard the shock.
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
Rise and walk.
[Verse 2]
Peter preached beside the porch:
The Author of life had been denied,
Yet the God of Abraham raised Him,
And faith in His name supplied
Perfect soundness to the beggar
Whom the people knew for years.
Priests and Sadducees arrested
The apostles through their fears.
[Bridge]
By what power? By what name?
The stone rejected stands as chief.
No other name beneath the heavens
Offers humankind relief.
[Final Refrain]
They charged them not to speak,
But courage answered law:
Whether right to hear men over God,
Let every conscience draw.
They prayed for greater boldness;
The meeting place was rocked.
