Name Above All Names - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
As we delve into the profound lyrics of "Name Above All Names" by Charity Gayle, we are reminded of the powerful narrative of Jesus Christ's sacrifice and resurrection. The song echoes the sentiments found in Philippians 2:9-11, "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
The song's first verse speaks of the moment when the sun was darkened, and the heavens thundered, a vivid depiction of the crucifixion scene. This imagery is reminiscent of Luke 23:44-45, "It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining." The song then transitions to the triumphant resurrection, mirroring the biblical account in Luke 24:6, "He is not here; he has risen!"
The chorus of the song, "All praise all praise, To the name above all names, Jesus You reign, ‘Cause You're the name above all names," is a powerful affirmation of faith, a declaration of Jesus' supremacy. This resonates with the scripture in Romans 14:11, "For it is written: 'As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.'"
The song's bridge, "The cross still stands, The blood still flows, The work is finished, And hell still knows, The grave is still empty, The stone is still rolled, And You’re still high and lifted up, You’re still seated on the throne," is a testament to the enduring power of Christ's sacrifice and victory over death, echoing the words in Revelation 1:18, "I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades."
As we reflect on the lyrics of this song and the corresponding scriptures, we are reminded of the power, majesty, and love embodied in the name of Jesus. We are called to acknowledge and praise His name, recognizing His sacrifice and the victory He won for us.
Now, let's pause for a moment of reflection. How does the understanding of Jesus as the 'Name above all Names' influence your daily life? How does this understanding shape your interactions, decisions, and your overall perspective on life? As we continue to sing praises to the name above all names, may we also strive to live in a way that reflects His love and sacrifice.
