Your Great Name

Every now and then, as a worship leader, I like to share the lyrics of an awesome worship song.  Here are the lyrics of a great song by Natalie Grant, "Your Great Name".  It's one I hope to lead in worship at Wakefield in the near future.

What an awesome testimony of the name of Jesus.  As I reflect on these lyrics, I'm reminded of the account in Acts 3-4 about the arrest of Peter and John.  One of the key parts of the biblical text involves Peter's response when the Sanhedrin threaten the prisoners and tell them to stop speaking about Jesus.  Peter response in Acts 4:20:  "For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard."  There was something powerful about the name of Christ that was undeniable, both by the Sanhedrin and the people who observed what was happening.

Enjoy the words of this song and reflect on the power that is found in the name of Christ.

Lost are saved; find their way; at the sound of Your great name
All condemned; feel no shame, at the sound of Your great name
Every fear; has no place; at the sound of Your great name
The enemy; he has to leave; at the sound of Your great name

Jesus, worthy is the Lamb that was slain for us, Son of God and man
You are high and lifted up; and all the world will praise Your great name

All the weak; find their strength; at the sound of Your great name
Hungry souls; receive grace; at the sound of Your great name
The fatherless; they find their rest; at the sound of Your great name
Sick are healed; and the dead are raised; at the sound of Your great name

Jesus, worthy is the Lamb that was slain for us, Son of God and man
You are high and lifted up; and all the world will praise Your great name

Redeemer, My Healer, Lord Almighty
My savior, Defender, You are My King

Jesus, worthy is the Lamb that was slain for us, Son of God and man
You are high and lifted up; and all the world will praise Your great name
