HISTORY. While meditating on Psalm 91 one day, I was challenged by verse 14 in particular: "Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because He hath known my name."

Within a week God started opening my eyes to all of His names--it seemed to me I was seeing them everywhere: as I read the Word, in books, on plaques, etc.

I started a collection in my notebook and finally entered them all into an Excel file. I alphabetized them and had a desire to memorize them, but didn't know how to begin.

Then, within a matter of hours, while shampooing our Youth Pastor's carpets (we own a nice Kirby with a shampoo unit and they were moving out of an apartment), the above song came to me. I'd stop and jot notes and then keep on shampooing. It was a glorious day and I now can say that I "KNOW" many of God's wonderful names.

I love the saying, "What God orders, He pays for." Well, He put a desire in my heart and then He provided the means for me to fulfill it. Isn't that just like Him?!

Descant throughout:
Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy

Chorus:
Name above all names,
Ever the same;
Name above all,
On my face I fall
My mouth's filled with Your praise;
Your holy name I raise.
I cannot be silent
I must not be still
My mind joins emotion, emotion joins will;
You set me on high when I honor Your name
Oh God, Your name I proclaim.

Verses:
Oh, Accessible, Advocate, Almighty King
Alpha, Omega, Amen.
The Author and Finisher of my faith,
My Banner the Beginning the End.

My Beloved, my Bridegroom, the Bread of Life
Bright and Morning Star.
My Consolation, Compassionate Friend
Gift of God sent from heaven afar.

Comforter, Confidence, Consuming Fire,
Daystar, Deliverer, Lord,
Defender of widows and orphans poor
Refuge, Stronghold, the Wide Open Door.

Counselor, Christ Child, Good Teacher
and Friend, Faithful, God with us, Our Guide.
My Helper, Hope, Hiding Place, Infinite Judge,
My Physician, You're always by my side. Chorus

Holy Spirit, Immutable, God Only Wise,
Jealous, Jehovah, Just One.
King of King, Lord of Lords, Light of Life,
Living Bread, Lamb of God, Great I Am.

Man of Sorrows, yet Master, the Most Holy One
Merciful, Gracious and Pure.
Messiah, Omnipotent, Mighty to Save
Perfect Passover, Providence Sure.

Omnipresent, Invisible, Most Powerful Love,
Providence, Radiant Star.
Sinless, Sin-bearer, my Surety
Unspeakable Gift Lord You are.

My Salvation, Righteousness, Redeemer and Rock
Unsearchable Wisdom, All Peace
Which is and which was and which is to come
True Teacher, Humble Servant, High Priest.
