The Maranatha Singers - Jesus Name Above All Names Lyrics

“Jesus Name Above All Names” gathers several biblical titles into a concise confession of Christ’s identity. Jesus is praised as the beautiful Savior, glorious Lord, Emmanuel, blessed Redeemer, and living Word. Each title contributes a distinct truth: He saves, reigns in glory, dwells with His people, redeems, and reveals God. The repeated opening line keeps every title centered on the supremacy of His name.

The central phrase closely echoes Philippians 2:9-11, which says that God highly exalted Jesus and bestowed on Him the name above every name. “Emmanuel, God is with us” comes directly from the title explained in Matthew 1:23, while “Living Word” recalls the presentation of Christ as the Word in John 1:1-14. The song therefore works as both praise and confession. Its repetition does not add a narrative; instead, it allows the names and attributes of Jesus to become the full subject of worship.
