The  Name  Above  All  Names

Picture
The first to be received was “The Name Above All Names."  I say 'received,' because something like this does not come from human intellect. As I said above, the songs came from very mundane settings. I was doing a kitchen chore at the time the lyric to "The Name Above All Names" came to me. 

The power of God came over me in a way I never experienced before. I had previously enjoyed outpourings of the Holy Spirit in my life, but they were always mellow, “warm fuzzy “confirmations of God's love. This was decidedly different from anything I had experienced before. This felt like the militant presence of the commander-in-chief of the forces of the Most High God.

I will never forget the exact words of God to me at that time. He said "get your pen boy, we're going to write ."  I went out to my music room where I had a very heavy flight case for my guitar standing up on end. I placed a yellow legal pad on top of the case and began to write. The words flowed past my intellect through my hands onto the page. It was like a Christian version of automatic writing. I marveled at the words that poured onto the paper as I realized they were way beyond my personal spiritual scope. That was the birth of the song “The Name Above All Names.”  I believe it today to be a prophecy to the church, and that I was just blessed to be able to put into musical form.

(Side note: In my opinion, the most powerful line in any of my songs is the line “I formed the worlds with a whisper, but I'm getting ready to shout!"
My wife Karen actually came up with this line.  She had been out praying, and came back and shared that the Lord had spoken these words to her heart. I immediately wrote the line down, and figured that I would work into a song somewhere down the line. It fit so perfectly into the song “The Name Above All Names."  So my most powerful lyric was written by my wife.  I hate it when that happens.)
