When I looked on youtube for patriotic music, I ran across this. I am so excited!

When I was in Bible college, we stayed at someone’s home and they played this Gaither video for us.

This is the first song I ever heard that made me want to put  my hands in the air and shout.

It saddens me that the name of Jesus is not beautiful for everyone. I can’t imagine hearing his blessed name and being offended.

Jesus is my Saviour, my provider, my comforter–and so much more.

Please listen to this even if you don’t love gospel music.

1.    There’s a name above all others,
Wonderful to hear, bringing hope and cheer.
It’s the lovely name of Jesus,
Evermore the same, what a lovely name. CHORUS:

What a lovely name, the name of Jesus.
Reaching higher far, than the brightest star.
Sweeter than the songs they sing in heaven.
Let the world proclaim, what a lovely name.

2.    Thru His name there’s wondrous power,
Power to redeem, making sinners clean.
By His pow’r He cleansed the leper,
Opened blinded eyes, caused the dead to rise.

CHORUS:

3.   He’ll return in clouds of glory,
Saints of ev’ry race, shall behold His face.
With Him enter heaven’s city,
Ever to proclaim, what a lovely name.

CHORUS:

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:10,11
