According to the liner notes, this song is based on 2 Corinthians 4:5, 7-9 (English Standard Version, or ESV) and Psalm 115:1 (New International Version, or NIV).
[Verse 1]
We have this treasure in jars of clay
To show that the power comes from God
We are afflicted in every way
But we're not crushed
[Verse 2]
We are perplexed, but not driven to despair
Persecuted, but not forsaken, I'm not
We are struck down, but not destroyed
Struck down, but not destroyed
[Chorus]
What we proclaim is not ourselves
What we proclaim is not ourselves
Oh, we proclaim the holy name of Jesus!
[Verse 1, repeated]
We have this treasure in jars of clay
To show that the power comes from God
And we are afflicted in every way
But we're not crushed
[Verse 2, repeated]
We are perplexed, but not driven to despair
Persecuted, but not forsaken, no
We are struck down, but not destroyed
Struck down, but not destroyed
[Chorus]
What we proclaim is not ourselves
What we proclaim is not ourselves
Oh, we proclaim the holy name of Jesus!
[Bridge]
Not to us, oh Lord, not to us, oh Lord
But to Your name be the glory!
Not to us, oh Lord, not to us, oh Lord
But to Your name be the glory!
[Chorus]
What we proclaim is not ourselves
What we proclaim is not ourselves
Oh, we proclaim the holy name of Jesus!
[Outro]
Oh, we proclaim the holy name of Jesus!
Not to us, oh Lord, not to us, oh Lord
But to Your name be the glory
Not to us, oh Lord, not to us, oh Lord
But to Your name be the glory
