What a beautiful name! There is no better place to be than in Jesus Christ. This is "What A Beautiful Name" Revisited. Let us make mention of the fact that in this music we are set to glorify the one true God, that His plans are to better us, and not to harm us. He uses the broken pieces of people's lives to create beautiful mosaics out of them, to grant them new life. The song states that Jesus has no rival. There are no other gods before Him. He is closer than a friend. He is a beautiful name. He is the name above all names like the song so eloquently says.
There is such a beautiful truth in the whole Bible that points forward and backward toward the cross. He died for us while we were yet sinners. The lead singer is so full of the spirit, you could see her jumping and bouncing about in the latter half of the song while proclaiming His grace and all His beauty. I love the simple piano instrumental in the bridge that gives people a moment or two to pray. Then, the band takes up the stage again with the “You have no rival/you have no equal” verse. It’s truly powerful. Many times, music can speak the word of God more than words themselves provide encouragement and this definitely provides us with a world away from the world at hand and the present troubles therein. The song is just beautiful for you and for me to sing in worship to our beloved creator, Jesus Christ. The brilliantness of the song is at times too much to behold and so is the sacrifice of our creator. The song ends with the third and final climax in G of the “no rival” verse and the final chorus in D major, the song’s home key. The volume of the instruments must be at the maximum because powers are lifted up so that God could hear them from Heaven. It is just so awesome. You want to stay in the brilliant moment forever. Some music makes us last in that longing and beautiful embrace. Powerful statements like these and the one in the review to follow are just glorious. Jesus come soon so we could celebrate continuously like in this song. Let the spirit capture you all and lead you into His embrace.
