Christmas is always a big season for music. Every year we hear new and old carols that ignite the Christmas spirit. But so many Christmas songs focus only on the celebration and completely forget the gospel and the real purpose behind the coming of Jesus Christ. Charity Gayle’s “His Name Shall Be” is different.
If you have heard Christian worship music in the last few years you probably know Charity Gayle. She grew up in a pastor’s home and has written some of the most powerful anthems we sing in church today. She is best known for songs like “Thank You Jesus for the Blood” which earned her a GMA Dove Award. Now she brings us this new track for the season. The song takes the ancient prophetic words of Isaiah and turns them into a modern declaration of faith. It walks us through exactly why Jesus came to earth.
At its heart, this new worship song from Charity Gayle tells us that we are not left on our own. It is a reminder that God stepped right into the middle of our mess. He did not stay far away but came specifically for the broken and the grieving.
In this worship session, Charity Gayle shares that message through “His Name Shall Be” in her powerful voice along with a talented choir.
As the video reaches its peak the energy shifts completely. The music stops being just a performance on a stage and becomes a unified shout of praise. The backup singers and the crowd join in repeating the names of God from Scripture. They call Him Wonderful Counselor and Mighty God. It gets loud and it gets incredibly real.
The prophet Isaiah called Jesus the Prince of Peace and the Mighty God. He left all His majesty and came straight into this dark world to save us. We are only dust, and yet God the Father loves us so deeply. We can never thank Him enough for that kind of love. He redeemed us by paying the ultimate price on the cross. This is not just a message to remember at Christmas. It is a truth to hold onto and celebrate every single day of our lives.
