As I sit here this morning, I realize how blessed I am. I have lots of possessions. Cars, a home, things to occupy my time. I have a beautiful family. A husband who loves me. Three wonderful children and three exquisite grandchildren. We all have jobs. We are all healthy. While my life isn’t perfect, I am blessed.

But I also know as I sit here this morning that there are those around me who are not in the same situation as I am. There are homeless folks nearby. There are those who have no work to go to today. There are people who are lonely because they have no family. There are many who are sick and need a healing touch.

Today’s song reminds us that whatever our lot in life, when we know Jesus we have all we need. Regardless of our circumstances, Jesus is everything.

What I love about this song is that it is about Jesus’ Name. Over and over the lyricists tell us that the sound of His great Name will drive out anything that is a hindrance to our walk with Jesus. As we speak the great Name of Jesus, the enemy loses ground in our lives. What a beautiful Name!

Today I would encourage you to speak the great Name of Jesus often. Don’t allow the evil one to tromp around in your life today. Send him packing as you speak the Name of Jesus.

Take a look at these words and hold onto their promises. Jesus. Let’s praise His Name as we sing this song together!

“Your Great Name”

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

Chorus:

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

The sick are healed and the dead are raised at the sound of Your great Name

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Redeemer, My Healer, Lord Almighty

My Savior, Defender, You are My King[i]
