Lost are saved find their way
At the sound of your great name
All condemned feel no shame
At the sound of your great name
Every fear has no place
At the sound of your great name
The enemy: he has to leave
At the sound of your great name
Jesus
Worthy is the Lamb
That was slain for us

You are high and lifted up
And all the world will praise your great name
All the weak find their strength
At the sound of your great name
Hungry souls receive grace
At the sound of your great name
The fatherless: they find their rest
At the sound of your great name
The sick are healed and the dead are raised
At the sound of your great name

You are high and lifted up
And all the world will praise your great name
Your great name

Your Great Name
Meaning & Inspiration
Natalie Grant’s "Your Great Name," released on February 22, 2011, as part of the *Your Great Name (Accompaniment Track) - EP*, stands as a monumental declaration of the power and authority inherent in the name of Jesus. This song isn't merely a collection of verses; it's a profound exploration of what it means to acknowledge and invoke the divine name that Christians believe holds ultimate sway over all creation. Its message centers on the transformative impact of Christ’s presence and identity, serving as an anthem of hope, healing, and redemption for all who hear it.
The lyrical journey of "Your Great Name" begins by painting vivid pictures of the spiritual shifts that occur when Jesus’s name is spoken. The lines "Lost are saved find their way At the sound of your great name" powerfully echo biblical truths found in passages like Acts 4:12, which declares that "there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved." This establishes the foundational promise of salvation and guidance. The song then extends this comfort, stating "All condemned feel no shame At the sound of your great name," a direct reflection of Romans 8:1, assuring that "there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." It speaks to a release from spiritual burden, a freedom from guilt that only divine grace can provide. The narrative continues to address common human struggles, asserting that "Every fear has no place At the sound of your great name," resonating with 2 Timothy 1:7 where we are reminded that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. Furthermore, the song directly confronts spiritual adversaries, declaring, "The enemy: he has to leave At the sound of your great name." This robust affirmation of authority over spiritual darkness finds strong biblical backing in James 4:7, urging us to "resist the devil, and he will flee from you," and Mark 16:17, which promises believers will cast out demons in Jesus' name.
The chorus serves as the heart of the song, elevating Jesus to His rightful place of honor and worship. "Jesus Worthy is the Lamb That was slain for us" directly references the triumphant imagery of Revelation 5:12, where the Lamb who was slain is declared worthy to receive power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise. This reminds us of Christ's sacrifice and His subsequent exaltation. Identifying Him as "Son of God and Man," the lyrics acknowledge the unique dual nature of Jesus, fully divine and fully human, as described in scriptures like John 1:1 and Philippians 2:6-8, bridging the gap between humanity and divinity. The declaration, "You are high and lifted up And all the world will praise your great name," draws from prophetic visions like Isaiah 6:1 and the ultimate promise of Philippians 2:9-11, which states that God exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.
The song then broadens its scope to include even more tangible forms of divine intervention. "All the weak find their strength At the sound of your great name" echoes the comforting words of 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, where Christ's power is made perfect in weakness, allowing believers to boast in their infirmities so that Christ's power may rest upon them. "Hungry souls receive grace At the sound of your great name" speaks to a spiritual yearning that finds fulfillment in God’s unmerited favor, beautifully aligning with Matthew 5:6, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled," and John 6:35, where Jesus declares Himself the bread of life. The compassionate message continues: "The fatherless: they find their rest At the sound of your great name," a powerful testament to God's role as a protector and provider, as affirmed in Psalm 68:5, "Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation." Finally, the lyrics boldly proclaim, "The sick are healed and the dead are raised At the sound of your great name," recalling numerous New Testament accounts of Jesus’s miraculous power, such as Peter healing in Acts 3:6-8 and Jesus raising Lazarus in John 11:43-44. These lines serve as a potent reminder that Christ's power extends even over physical ailments and the finality of death.
The bridge of "Your Great Name" serves as a powerful litany of Christ's titles and roles, reinforcing His multifaceted nature and unwavering presence in the lives of believers. He is identified as "Redeemer," reminding us of His work on the cross to purchase us from sin’s penalty, as seen in Galatians 3:13. He is "My Healer," a truth affirmed in Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:24, by whose stripes we are healed. He is "Lord Almighty," a title emphasizing His sovereign power, frequently used in Revelation 1:8. He is "My Savior," the one who delivers us from sin and death, as proclaimed in Luke 2:11. He is "Defender," standing strong for His people, as captured in Psalm 59:1. And ultimately, He is "My King," the sovereign ruler whose reign is eternal, a truth gloriously described in Revelation 19:16. The song culminates in a repetition of "Jesus," emphasizing that all these miraculous outcomes and divine attributes converge in that single, holy name. This profound and inspiring composition is more than just a song; it's an invitation to experience and proclaim the transformative power of Jesus, leaving a lasting impression of hope, faith, and awe in the hearts of those who engage with its message.
