Natalie Grant - Your Great Name

Listen to this song! SO POWERFUL!! I posted the lyrics for you too...I love this song so much right now! So much truth that we just take for granted!!

YOUR GREAT NAME!
By: Natalie Grant





Lost are saved; find their way; at the sound of your great name
All condemned; feel no shame, at the sound of your great name
Every fear; has no place; at the sound of your great name
The enemy; he has to leave; at the sound of your great name

Jesus, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain for us, Son of God and Man
You are high and lifted up; that all the world will praise your great name

All the weak; find their strength; at the sound of your great name
Hungry souls; receive grace; at the sound of your great name
The fatherless; they find their rest; at the sound of your great name
Sick are healed; and the dead are raised; at the sound of your great name

Jesus, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain for us, Son of God and Man
You are high and lifted up; that all the world will praise your great name

Redeemer, My Healer, Almighty
My savior, Defender, You are My King

Jesus, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain for us, Son of God and Man
You are high and lifted up; that all the world will praise your great name

I could just sing it forever...His name is so great and has so much power that we as Christian's are not utilizing!

"Every fear; has no place; at the sound of your great name
The enemy; he has to leave; at the sound of your great name"

The fears that we struggle with day in and day out...they have no place in our life...because we are followers of the One true God! The enemy HAS to leave....he doesn't have a choice...when we utter the name of Jesus he has to flee!!!! How often are we boughed down and feeling attacked but yet we try to fix it ourselves, we try to find the strength on our own....when all we really have to do is say His sweet name and He will help us, protect us, comfort us!!!

"The fatherless; they find their rest; at the sound of your great name
Sick are healed; and the dead are raised; at the sound of your great name"
The fatherless are given a Father!!!!! Sick people are healed...and not just thousands of years ago when Jesus walked on this earth....but right now...here today....people can be healed...they just have to believe and call on the name of Jesus!!!


"Jesus, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain for us,
Son of God and Man, You are high and lifted up;
that all the world will praise your great name"

What an amazing song, Jesus, the Lamb of God was slain for us!!! He died for ME!!!!!! God sent His ONLY Son to die for lowly little me, trying to wrap my brain around that today brings me to my knees!!
He is SO WORTHY of our praise!!!

I encourage you....go back and listen again....sing to Him! Show Him how worthy He is of all our Praise!! And whatever you are dealing with...don't under estimate the power of HIS GREAT NAME!!!!

My new Profession: Juggling!!


I only wish that the type of juggling I am talking about could look that happy-go-lucky. You see, the juggling that I am talking about is the juggling of every day stuff. I am 58 days away from being a Bride and there is so much still to be done for the wedding. I am 2 weeks away from finishing 2 more classes at Bethel and there are papers and quizzes and books to read. I have 2 upcoming surgeries, so have to figure out how juggling life on crutches and pain meds will work. I have 5 more weeks of work at the bank and don't want to check out early. My last night at UNITED is in 5 and a half weeks and those students still need me.


Amidst all this juggling I want my main focus to be Christ. I want my juggling act to be Christ and the parts of the world that He wants me to reach. I want my juggling act to not be self-centered as it seems to be right now, but to be the things He has for me. That is my prayer right now, that my focus would be on Christ, even in the hustle and bustle that life is.
