I'm sharing my first worship song cover. This is one of my favorite songs by Hillsong United (a Christian band). I love this song because if you are going to listen to every word on its lyrics you will be amazed how wonderful, how powerful and how beautiful the name of the Lord is. I was really mesmerized with the meaning of this song. I remember when this song was played during our Sunday Service, we can really feel the power of the name of the Lord, during our worship time, many have accepted Christ to have a personal relationship as a Lord and Savior.
When I was practicing this song I checked about the story behind this song and I was able to find a blog post about it.
The title of the song is "What a beautiful Name".
"What hides in the name of Jesus?"
The name of Jesus encompasses more than we can hope or imagine—more beauty, more wonder, more power.
“Beauty” evokes the tenderness of His love and the sweetness of His presence. “Wonder” speaks to our gratitude for salvation, awe at the lengths of His sacrifice. “Power” affirms His supremacy and Sovereignty—an exhortation to remember our access to the power of God in every situation, as we call upon and declare the Name of Jesus.
What a beautiful Name it is
What a wonderful Name it is
What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
Jesus has the Name above all others. Anything that we can name – from our greatest triumphs to our greatest challenges—comes under the authority of His Name. This song confesses that no greater beauty or source of wonder exists outside of Jesus, “the radiance of God’s glory” (Hebrews 1:3). The song is also a statement that Jesus has no rival or equal. His power is unmatched and absolute.
Perhaps some of us understand God loves us through the death and resurrection of Jesus, but haven’t grasped His power, ability and will to move strongly in our present circumstances. Or perhaps, we understand God as the supreme, omnipotent Deity He is, but have never known Him close and tender, as a friend acquainted with the depths of our humanity, knowing our flaws cannot perturb His love. Our prayer for this song is that we can all enter into a deeper, more lateral, revelation of the person of Jesus Christ—the epitome of beauty.
