Meaning & Inspiration
Mention is a worship song built on Philippians 2:10-11. Its refrain says that at the mention of the name of Jesus every knee must bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord, and the opening calls Him Lord and Adonai with a Hallelujah.
The verse then adds an image of the scales falling from the eyes of the blind at His name, which recalls Acts 9:18 where scales fall from Saul's eyes and Isaiah 35:5 on the opening of blind eyes. The hook is a simple statement, "Jesus, You are Lord," repeated with a short "oh" response, and the bridge sings the name Jesus alone. The title Adonai brings in the Hebrew name for Lord used throughout the Old Testament. With few words and strong repetition, the song focuses a congregation on the lordship of Christ and works well as an extended moment of adoration.
