Meaning & Inspiration
This song centers on the name of Jesus and lists the titles found in Isaiah 9:6: Wonderful, Counselor, Almighty God. The opening verse states that "only One strong enough to save" exists, and the next verse points to keys of death and hell, a reference to Revelation 1:18, where Christ speaks of holding them. The line "by His blood, our sins are washed away" ties the name to redemption.
A later section calls the nations to kneel and describes the Son of Man coming on the clouds, with every knee bowing and every tongue confessing "the Name above all names". That language closely follows Philippians 2:9-11. The bridge repeats several titles in capital letters, including Counselor, Mighty God and Prince of Peace, before ending on the word Wonderful. The song is organized around proclamation rather than personal narrative, and it keeps returning to the authority and return of Christ.
