Your Name

“Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.” Psalm 148:13

While visiting New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Paul Baloche suggested that he and Glenn Packiam, a songwriter and associate pastor at New Life, connect for a writing session.

“There really wasn’t a place for us to meet except in the nursery,” recalls Glenn.

So, there they sat in the nursery, with a beautiful view of the mountains but with the very present smell of a church nursery.

Glenn shared with Paul a message that he’d given recently that was drawn from Psalm 65 about rediscovering awe and living in wonder. Then the two worshiped for a while. Glenn read the scripture and almost immediately, the song poured out.

Though that was the first time the two had written together, it was the beginning of many writing sessions that would birth numerous new songs for the Church.

Let the name of Jesus always be present in your life.

Give praise and thanks to Jesus, the name above all names.

“Your name
Is a strong and mighty tower
Your name
Is a shelter like no other
Your name
Let the nations sing it louder
‘Cause nothing has the power to save
But Your name” – Paul Baloche and Glenn Packiam

“O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!” Psalm 8:9
