Jesus, Name above all Name.

 Jesus, Name Above All Names

A Reflection on Philippians 2:9-11 and Acts 4:12

Jesus, name above all names—not just higher, but supreme;

The name that wakes the dead to life, the name that breaks the dream

Of sin and shame and sorrow, the name that demons flee,

The name that calms the raging storm and stills the troubled sea.

Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name. (Philippians 2:9)

No other name in heaven can claim what this name claims.

No other name can wash away the guilt of all our shames.

No other name can open heaven's door and welcome in

The poorest, worst, most broken soul—forgiven from all sin.

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)

Above all names of power—of Caesar, king, or throne,

Of science, wealth, or wisdom, or any claim to own

The hearts of men—Your name alone stands true and everlast.

No other name can give us peace that holds us firm and fast.

Jesus—the name the angels sing around the throne of God.

Jesus—the name the saints proclaim who once through valleys trod.

Jesus—the name we whisper in the darkness and the light,

The name that turns our fear to faith, our wrong to right.

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. (Philippians 2:10-11)

So let my lips confess it—in the morning and the night,

In the valley of the shadow and in the victory's light.

Jesus, name above all names—my refuge and my song,

The name in which I live and move, the name to which I long

To cling forever. Worthy, worthy, worthy is the Lamb.

Jesus, name above all names—the great I AM.

Amen.
