Jesus, What a Beautiful Name - original print from The Worship Project.

What do you do when it’s freezing cold outside, and the rain is pouring down? Have sweet meals with friends, drink quality coffee, and listen to Christmas music! It’s been such a wonderfully lazy Sunday today. My afternoon was spent with one of my favorite holiday worship albums - “Jesus Christmas” by Hillsong.

I know that today’s lyrics aren’t strictly a Christmas song, but I’m coming to realise more and more that so many songs of worship could double as Christmas songs if we just played them seasonally. “Jesus What A Beautiful Name” is one of my all-time favorite songs of worship. It was written by a then-fifteen-year-old Tanya Riches during her time at Hillsong.

It’s a simple song of adoration and celebration of Jesus; of all that He’s done for us. It also features many different names of God, which I love - how beautiful to be reminded of all the different facets of God.

As we begin this last week of advent, and we look forward with anticipation to the day of His birth, I pray that you behold Him anew; that you see Him face-to-face. If you already know this song, sing along to the lyrics and marvel at His loving kindness. If you’ve never heard this song, I encourage you to find it (Spotify and YouTube) and behold the beauty of His precious name afresh.

Until God has become your treasure, until your own sin has become the thing you hate most, until the word of God is your supreme authority that you feel to be more precious than gold, sweeter than honey, until the gospel of Christ’s death in your place is the most precious news in the world to you, until you have learned to deny yourself short-term pleasures for the sake of long-term joy and holiness, until you have grown to love the Holy Spirit and long for his fruit more than man’s praise, until you count everything as loss compared to the supreme value of knowing Christ — your attitude towards your clothing and your appearance will be controlled by forces that don’t honor Christ. And there’s the aim for both women and men. Together we desire to not be controlled by outward appearances. Instead, we make it our aim to be compelled by the invisible love of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:12–15). Words by John Piper
