Brothers and sisters, peace in the Lord! Do you want to know the significance of God’s names? Why does God have a new name in each stage of new work? In the Age of Law, God’s name was Jehovah, and God’s name was Jesus in the Age of Grace. I think of Revelation 3:11-12, “Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown. Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and I will write on him my new name”. These verses mention “I come quickly”, “my new name”, and, “the name of the city of my God”. That is to say, there will be a stage of new work when God comes, and there will be a new name of God. Do you want to know the significance of God’s names that He takes in every stage of work? This song, The Significance of God’s Name, will reveal the mystery of God’s names for us!
2019 Gospel Song | "The Significance of God’s Name"
Intro
In each stage of God’s work, there’s a basis for His name.
It holds special meaning, each name stands for one age.
Verse 1
God’s names through the ages—Jehovah, Jesus and Messiah—
all represent God’s Spirit, but not His entirety.
All the names He is called on earth cannot articulate
all His disposition, all that He has, all that He is.
Chorus
He was called Jesus, Jehovah, Messiah,
but when the last days come, His name will change again.
The whole age will come to an end under His name,
the powerful Almighty God.
Verse 2
God was once known as Jehovah,
He was once known as Messiah and Jesus.
But today He is not who they knew in times past,
He is the God who has returned in the last days.
He will bring the age to a close; He rises up at earth’s ends,
filled with God’s disposition, with authority and glory.
Chorus
He was called Jesus, Jehovah, Messiah,
but when the last days come, His name will change again.
The whole age will come to an end under His name,
the powerful Almighty God.
Verse 3
Nations will be blessed or crushed all because of His words.
Thus all people shall see the Savior has returned.
He is the Almighty God that conquers all mankind.
All shall see He once served as man’s sin offering.
Bridge
In the last days, He is the sun’s flame burning all,
in the last days, the Sun of righteousness revealing all.
In the last days, such is God’s work.
Chorus
He was called Jesus, Jehovah, Messiah,
but when the last days come, His name will change again.
The whole age will come to an end under His name,
the powerful Almighty God.
He was called Jesus, Jehovah, Messiah,
but when the last days come, His name will change again.
The whole age will come to an end under His name,
the powerful Almighty God, the powerful Almighty God,
the powerful Almighty God.
