Your Great Name

One of the new responsibilities I have in ministry, is giving input to Sunday Morning worship songs. As I have begun to explore both modern worship music and old-time hymns, a number of songs have jumped out to me, as great songs for corporate worship. One of these songs is, "Your Great Name". I wanted to post the lyrics to this blog today. As we all read them and hum the tune, think through what these words are saying to God and about God. This song is one of the few great modern worship songs.

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, that 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, that all the world will praise Your great name
Oh, Your great name

Redeemer, my healer, almighty
My savior, defender, You are my king

Redeemer, my healer, almighty
My savior, defender, You are my king

Jesus, the name of Jesus 
You are high and lifted up and all the world will praise Your great name
Slain for us, son of God and man
You are high and lifted up, that all the world will praise Your great name
Your great name, yeah
Your great name, yeah
