This week’s featured song story comes to us from Matt Redman. We’re excited to share with you the story behind the new acoustic version of his song “Jesus Your Name.”
“When we wrote this lyric ‘Jesus Your name when the whole world shakes’ and released it at the beginning of this year we had no idea some the connotations, some of the things it would mean for this year. I love being able sing Jesus Your name over everything. Not just that You’re high in everything but I’m going to sing authority of Your name over all these different elements in my life and this world. I’m going to proclaim You Jesus, Your power, glory, sovereignty, love and peace.” – Matt Redman

“Jesus Your Name” Lyrics
O Your name, is my first defense
And O Your name is my last amen
It carries me when I cannot stand
It reaches me when I reach the end
Jesus Your name, when the whole world shakes
Jesus Your name, I will ever praise
My battle cry every night and day
I’ll sing Your name over everything
I’ll sing Your name over everything
O Your name is my greatest strength
It fights for me and it won’t relent
I cast my cares
Every burden fall
For there’s one name that can bear them all
Jesus Your name, when the whole world shakes
Jesus Your name, I will ever praise
My battle cry every night and day
I’ll sing Your name over everything
I’ll sing Your name over everything
In every storm, You’re the Prince of Peace
The Lord of all, You are heaven’s King
I’ll sing Your name til my last breath here
Then I’ll sing again, with my first breath there
Jesus Your name, when the whole world shakes
Jesus Your name, I will ever praise
My battle cry every night and day
I’ll sing Your name over everything
I’ll sing Your name over everything
Jesus, I’ll sing Your name over everything
My God, I’ll sing Your name over everything
