One of my favorite Hillsong worship songs. I miss this song!!! And I miss those crazy Aussie hairdo’s

It’s always a good sign when two of your favorite worship leaders decide to write a song together. At Your Name is a great new worship song written by Tim Hughes and Phil Wickham and it speaks of the holiness/sacredness/greatness of God, while proclaiming that Jesus IS that great God!

Below is a video of Phil sharing the story behind the song and then performing it. I hope it touches you in a supernatural way like it has for me.

LYRICS //
At Your Name, the mountains shake and crumble
At Your Name, the oceans roar and tumble
At Your Name, angles will bow the earth will rejoice
Your people cry out

Lord of all the earth
we shout Your Name, shout Your Name
Filling up the skies
with endless praise, endless praise
YAHWEH, YAHWEH
we love to shout Your Name
oh Lord

At Your Name, the morning breaks in glory
At Your Name, creation sings Your story
At Your Name, angles will bow the earth will rejoice
Your people cry out

There is no one like our God
we will praise You, praise You
JESUS is our God
we will sing, we will sing

Life is definitely full of ups and downs – for anyone. No one can escape trials, challenges, and seasons of uncertainty. However, there is something beautiful about what happens when we rise up and persevere through these difficult times in life. The truth of the matter is that no matter what we go through, no matter what challenges we face, God is faithful – end of story. In fact, His faithfulness shines through in the darkest times, even when we’re lost and confused. What an incredible God we have!

Here are a few scriptures that I have held on to through the storms of life:

Proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

Philippians 4:4-7

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

What hope we have in the God of peace that transcends ALL understanding! Even when we may think we have our lives all figured out, it is God who is in complete control and who fully understands beyond our limited, human comprehension.

I was recently introduced to a new worship song by Matt Redman called Never Once. It contains the incredible truth of God’s faithfulness and the reassurance that never once has He left us on our own to face the battles of life. I invite you to take a moment and hear from Matt himself regarding the origin and theme of this song. I pray it blesses you and reminds you of God’s faithfulness no matter what you’re currently experiencing in life. We never walk alone!

Song Lyrics:

Standing on this mountaintop

Looking just how far we’ve come

Knowing that for every step

You were with us

Kneeling on this battle ground

Seeing just how much You’ve done

Knowing every victory

Is Your power in us

Scars and struggles on the way

But with joy our hearts can say

Yes, our hearts can say

Never once did we ever walk alone

Never once did You leave us on our own

You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Scars and struggles on the way

But with joy our hearts can say

Never once did we ever walk alone

Carried by Your constant grace

Held within Your perfect peace

Never once, no, we never walk alone

This past weekend we played the song “Something Beautiful” by NeedToBreath as a special. I love this song and it has easily become one of my favorites. The lyrics are great and the melody is too! Below is the band playing an acoustic version of it. Enjoy!!! Oh, and just ignore the whole “Cosmo Girl” promo at the beginning and end

What a great prayer:

HEY NOW, THIS IS MY DESIRE
CONSUME ME LIKE A FIRE, ‘CAUSE I JUST WANT SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
TO TOUCH ME, I KNOW THAT I’M IN REACH
‘CAUSE I AM DOWN ON MY KNEES, I’M WAITING FOR SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
OH, OH, OH, SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
