The song acknowledges the transformative power of Jesus Christ and how his great name brings salvation and freedom. In the first verse, Grant sings, “Lost are saved, find their way, at the sound of your great name. All condemned feel no shame, at the sound of your great name.” These lines illustrate how, through the name of Jesus, individuals can find salvation and experience a release from guilt and shame.
The chorus further emphasizes the significance of Christ’s sacrifice, proclaiming, “Jesus, Worthy is the Lamb, that was slain for us, Son of God and Man. You are high and lifted up, that all the world will praise your great name.” These words remind listeners of Jesus’ ultimate act of love, dying on the cross, and the magnitude of his authority and glory.
