Although, "Your Great Name," isn't a "new" song, I only heard it recently and was captivated by it. Not only is Anthony Evan's voice powerful, but the words are captivating. One of the themes of Scripture is that God is making a name for himself. His name is synonymous with his character and glory.
Through Malachi, the prophet, the Lord says, "'For my name will be great among the nations, from the rising of the sun to its setting. Incense and pure offerings will be presented in My name in every place because My name will be great among the nations,' says Yahweh of Hosts" (Mal. 1:11).
Speaking of the incarnation and death of Jesus Paul reminds us, "For this reason God highly exalted him and gave him a name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow--of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth--and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father" (Phil. 2:9-11).
"Your Great Name," draws on some of the names (and titles) given to Jesus, and moves us to meditate upon them. The simple, repetitive nature of the song adds to its beauty. I hope this song moves your heart to celebrate the Lord's great name.
