Song information
My singing unaccompanied
The song *"What a Beautiful Name"* is a popular Christian worship song released by Hillsong Worship in 2016 as part of their album *Let There Be Light*. The song was written by Brooke Ligertwood (formerly Brooke Fraser) and Ben Fielding, two prominent members of Hillsong's creative team.

### Background and Inspiration
The song is centered around the beauty, power, and significance of the name of Jesus. It highlights the Christian belief that the name of Jesus is not just a word, but a representation of His character, divinity, and saving power. The lyrics reflect deep theological truths about Jesus' incarnation, His work on the cross, and the believer's relationship with Him.

In an interview, Brooke Ligertwood shared that the song was inspired by the revelation of the power and beauty of Jesus' name. She said that the intention was to create a song that could lead people into worship and give them words to express the awe and wonder they feel when they consider who Jesus is and what He has done.

### Key Themes in the Song
1. **The Name of Jesus**: The song repeatedly emphasizes the name of Jesus, reflecting the biblical teaching that Jesus' name is above all names (Philippians 2:9-11).
2. **The Incarnation and Sacrifice**: The lyrics touch on Jesus' incarnation ("You didn't want heaven without us, so Jesus, You brought heaven down") and His sacrificial death and resurrection.
3. **Worship and Adoration**: The song is structured as a declaration of worship, praising Jesus for His beauty, power, and holiness.

### Impact and Popularity
"What a Beautiful Name" quickly became one of the most popular worship songs in the world. It won several awards, including the 2018 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song and the Dove Award for Worship Song of the Year. The song's powerful lyrics and simple melody made it a favorite in churches and worship settings globally.

The song's success is also attributed to its theological depth combined with accessible and emotive language, making it a strong tool for personal and corporate worship.

Lyrics
Verse 1
You were the Word at the beginning
One with God the Lord Most High
Your hidden glory in creation
Now revealed in You our Christ

Chorus 1
What a beautiful Name it is
What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a beautiful Name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus

Verse 2
You didn’t want heaven without us
So Jesus You brought heaven down
My sin was great Your love was greater
What could separate us now

Chorus 2
What a wonderful Name it is
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a wonderful Name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus

The Name of Jesus

Bridge
Death could not hold You
The veil tore before You
You silence the boast of sin and grave
The heavens are roaring
The praise of Your glory
For You are raised to life again

You have no rival
You have no equal
Now and forever God You reign
Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the glory
Yours is the Name above all names

Chorus 3
What a powerful Name it is
What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a powerful Name it is
Nothing can stand against
What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
