“Be Unto Your Name” by Lynn DeShazo & Gary Sadler

I am a little behind on posting my weekly Music posts. We sang this song last Sunday. It is another example of a gospel-centered, Christ-magnifying, God-glorifying, modern worship song. The melody lends itself well to reflection on the songs simple yet important message. This would be a song worth learning and using regardless of which music style you prefer. I hope the message is a blessing to you today.

 

Be Unto Your Name

by Lynn DeShazo & Gary Sadler

We are a moment You are forever
Lord of the ages God before time
We are a vapor You are eternal
Love everlasting reigning on high

Chorus
Holy holy Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain
Highest praises honor and glory
Be unto Your name
Be unto Your name

We are the broken You are the healer
Jesus Redeemer mighty to save
You are the love song we’ll sing forever
Bowing before You blessing Your name

I found a beautiful online recording of this song. You need to click here, and then click on the little box with a “play” sign (arrow). I believe the recording comes from the Intimate Worship CD by Renewal Music. The recording lets you hear the entire first verse and chorus.

Also, you can preview the sheet music online for free by clicking here (click here to order the music). Here is a chord chart, and here is a brief bio on one of the authors (DeShazo). Finally, click here for the story behind the song.
