Meaning & Inspiration
Names of God builds its worship around a sequence of biblical titles and descriptions. Each name adds another dimension to the song’s portrayal of God: Creator, Shepherd, Provider, Healer, Peace, and everlasting Lord. The repeated declaration, "Worthy is Your Name," turns the list into a direct expression of praise. Together, the names emphasize divine character rather than a personal story, giving the lyric the form of a concise confession of faith.
Several lines closely echo Scripture. Genesis 16:13 describes God as the one who sees, while Genesis 22:14 associates the Lord with provision. The shepherd language also recalls Psalm 23, and the closing name, "El Olam," presents God as everlasting. These references gather distinct biblical images into one act of worship. The chorus provides the response to every title: God’s revealed character is treated as the reason that his name deserves praise.
