Fred Hammond - We Lift Up Your Name Lyrics

We Lift Up Your Name is a direct song of praise built around the worthiness of God and the Lamb. Its opening language gathers salvation, glory, blessing, honor, wisdom, and power into a confession that these belong to God alone. The chorus responds with raised hands and public adoration, while the repeated call to lift Jesus higher gives the song a communal, celebratory shape.

Several phrases closely echo the worship scenes in Revelation, where heavenly voices honor God and proclaim the Lamb worthy. The reference to the slain Lamb places Christ’s sacrifice at the center of the praise, and the title names the song’s central action: exalting the Lord rather than celebrating human achievement. Even its brief declarations carry a clear movement from confession to response. The result is worship language suited to gathered praise, joining gratitude for salvation with reverence for Christ as King.
