His Name

Big Daddy Weave
The Only Name

Yours will be the only Name that matters to me
The only One Whose favor I seek
The only Name that matters to me

Yours will be
The friendship and affection I need
To feel my Father smiling on me
The only Name that matters to me

Yours is the Name the Name that has saved me
Mercy and grace the power that forgave me
And Your love is all I’ve ever needed

When I wake up in the Land of Glory
And with the saints I will tell my story
There will be one Name that I proclaim

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, just that Name

I love Big Daddy Weave, he has the spirit within him to be able to capture such beautiful music the way he does. He is touched by God to be able to convey such feelings through the music and words God must give him. I enjoy every song written by this band,
 they are truly a blessing to Christian music.

Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Since losing my dear brother in law, Christian music has brought me great comfort. 
More than it ever has before. I seem to be listening to the words more
and finding deeper meaning to them. 
Some of my favorite songs have been hard to listen to, 
the pain is still fresh, 
but this one by Big Daddy Weave has been a huge comfort. 
Waking up in the land of Glory! 
I've talked about heaven on this blog before, 
and now that I have yet another loved one with Christ, 
I can't stop thinking about Heaven and what awaits those who believe in the Name of Jesus. 
His name is THE ONLY name that ever matters. 
The name of Jesus. This song captures that so well. 
His favor is the only favor we should ever seek.
Seeking mans favor is not what Christ wants of us.
 Colossians 3:17, "And whatever you do, 
in word or deed, 
do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, 
giving thanks to God the Father through him". 
Everything we do, EVERYTHING should be for God the Father and his Son. 
We need to be thanking God for our every breath.
 He gave it to us, we did not earn it on our own,
 or create it. He created us and therefore, 
we should be giving thanks to 
Him always for everything we have and are able to do. 

Friendship in Christ is the best kind of friendship.
We should seek Him in all things first. 
He wants a relationship with us.
 John 14:6  Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. 
No one comes to the Father except through me.
If we can only get to the Father through Jesus the son,
 then the only way to do that is in union with His Son.
A friendship. Talking. Praying. Giving. Leaning. Growing. 
Christ died for me and you
He wants to be our everything. 
The ONE we go to in all things. 
He wants HIS name to be above all names when we cry out! 

And one day, when we Wake up in the Land of Glory
and the Father smiles on us and says, 
well done my good and faithful servant (Matthew 25:23).
There should be only One Name to Proclaim
The Name of Jesus! 

His love is all we ever need. 
His approval is all we ever need. 
His Grace comes from only Him, 
no one else can provide us Grace and Mercy. 
We are created to worship Him and Him alone. 
Our life is to be a reflection of His love on us. 
Surround yourself with His love today. 
Worship His name alone today. 
And one day, 
When you wake up in the land of Glory
The only name you will proclaim will be 
Jesus !
