New Worship Song! - Jesus Name Above All Names

We’ve been loving a new worship song at Emmanuel recently – “Jesus Name Above All Names” by KXC. If you haven’t heard it yet, you can listen here: 🎧 Watch on YouTube

Where it comes from

The song draws from one of the most powerful passages in Scripture – Philippians 2:9–11, where Paul writes that God exalted Jesus and gave him “the name above every name,” and that every knee should bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

It’s a song that doesn’t shy away from declaring who Jesus is. The lyrics celebrate him as the “miracle making, city wall shaking, prodigal chasing, Lazarus raising” God. It’s bold, faith-filled and full of life.

Why we love it

One of the things I love about this song is that it’s not just great for Sunday worship – it’s brilliant to have playing at home. We’ve noticed that when we’ve got worship music on in the background, our kids start picking up the tunes (and sometimes the theology gets… interesting).

For example, our youngest was once asked by a teacher to “do it again” and apparently started singing “Do it again, Lord!” A bit out of context, but at least worship is sinking in somewhere!

It’s a simple way to fill your home with truth and joy. The songs we play shape the atmosphere – and little hearts often soak up more than we realise.

Singing over one another

After the service last Sunday, someone mentioned they wanted to sing this song over a family member who’s going through a hard time. I loved that. What a beautiful thought – to speak (or sing) the name of Jesus over the people we love.

That’s really what this song invites us to do: to remember that the name of Jesus still carries power, hope and peace today.

Why not try it this week?

Pop the song on while you’re making dinner or driving to work. Let it lift your eyes and remind you who’s really in charge. You might even find yourself (or your kids) humming it through the day.

“Jesus, You’re the name above all names, Over my fear, over the storm – Jesus is Lord.”

Let’s keep making our homes places where His name is sung, even in the ordinary moments.

With love and hope, 

Peter
