What A Lovely Name

When Jesus was born in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago there were many children in Israel named Jesus, but there was none like Him. The angel told Joseph His name.

Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

“What a lovely name, the name of Jesus!” At the mention of that name hell trembles; Satan flees, sin is defeated, captives are delivered, fear gives way to peace, hopelessness is swallowed up in victory, the lost are found, the blind see, and the dead live.

“What a lovely name, the name of Jesus!” At the mention of that name drunkards are made sober, harlots are made pure, addicts are delivered from addictions, the lost are saved, and a new life beings.

“What a lovely name, the name of Jesus!” That name marks the difference between Heaven and Hell, between life and death, between hope and despair, between sin and salvation, between judgment and forgiveness, and between the grace of God and His condemnation.

Charles Wycuff wrote a beautiful song about the lovely name of Jesus. I love this song because I love Jesus for all He has done in my life.

WHAT A LOVELY NAME---by  Charles Wycuff
There's a name above all others, Wonderful to hear, bringing hope and cheer.
t's the lovely name of Jesus, Evermore the same, what a lovely name.

CHORUS:
What a lovely name, the name of Jesus. Reaching higher far, than the brightest star.
Sweeter than the songs they sing in heaven. Let the world proclaim, what a lovely name.
