Verse 1
A child will be born
A son will be given
For those in the dark
A light shines from heaven
And all those who mourn
And those who are grieving
A Savior has come
A God to believe in
Chorus
His name shall be Wonderful Counselor
Mighty God, Everlasting Father
His name shall be Prince of Peace
The King of Kings
His name is Jesus

From heaven's high throne
The Lord in a manger
Messiah has come
The perfect Redeemer
And our King shall reign
In glory and splendor
His kingdom shall be
Forever and ever
Chorus
His name shall be Wonderful Counselor
Mighty God, Everlasting Father
His name shall be Prince of Peace
The King of Kings
His name is Jesus
Bridge
He's here
He came for the broken
He came for the hurting
Our God made flesh
Shall carry our burdens
He came for the lonely
He came for the suffering
Our present help
Will heal and restore us
He came for the anxious
He came for the addict
To break every chain
And free every captive
He came for the prisoner
He came for the sinner
Hallelujah
We praise You forever
Chorus (x2)
His name shall be Wonderful Counselor
Mighty God, Everlasting Father
His name shall be Prince of Peace
The King of Kings
His name is Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
“His Name Shall Be (Isaiah 9)” builds its message around the promised child and royal titles of Isaiah’s prophecy. The opening verse moves from darkness and grief toward heavenly light and the arrival of a Savior. Its chorus names Jesus as Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, and King of Kings, making the song a direct confession of his identity and reign.
The second verse joins the humility of the manger to the majesty of an everlasting kingdom. That contrast reflects the Christian proclamation that the Word became flesh while retaining divine glory. The bridge then applies the coming of Christ to brokenness, suffering, anxiety, captivity, and sin. Its language emphasizes a present help who carries burdens, restores, and frees. By ending in repeated praise of Jesus, the song keeps both incarnation and redemption in view: the promised ruler comes near to those in need, and his kingdom has no end.
