Worship Set 9 - "His Name Shall Be"

Christmas is just around the corner!  Have you been busy with parties, celebrations, and festive activities?  I have!  This is such a busy season!  So much joy, so much excitement, so much celebration!  But let’s not forget the Reason for the season.

Today’s song feature was written by Matt Redman and is based on an old hymn and drawn straight from the Messianic prophecy in Isaiah 9.  It is a fun, upbeat song with a powerful message celebrating the true meaning of Christmas.  I hope you are able to take some time to read the lyrics and listen to the song.  My favorite line is “glory to God your children sing.” 
 
May this be our anthem this Christmas!  May we join the angels in singing glory to the King of kings!  Jesus is worthy of our praise.  He is Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.  So may we worship and glorify Him as such this Christmas.  Here’s “His Name Shall Be Called Wonderful” by Matt Redman. ​

"His Name Shall Be"
by Matt Redman

​Oh, can you hear the angels' song
 That rang so sweet and clear
 When heaven's light and music fell
 And mercy found us here
 Glory in the highest
 And on the earth be peace

 Glory to God the angels sing!

He came to tell the Father's love
 His goodness and His grace
 To show the brightness of His smile
 The glory of His face 
So glory in the highest
 And on the earth be peace

 Glory to God Your children sing

 His name shall be called
Wonderful,
Counselor
 Mighty God,
Everlasting Father
 Prince of Peace for all eternity
 His name shall be

He came to lift the weary ones
 Give peace and perfect rest
 To take away our burdens and
 To give a glorious gift
 So glory in the highest
 And on the earth be peace

 Glory to God the world will sing!

 His name shall be called
Wonderful,
Counselor
 Mighty God,
Everlasting Father
 Prince of Peace for all eternity
 One name above all others
 One name that came to save us
 Oh sing, His name is 
His name is Jesus!
