Jehovah, That Is My Name

Isaiah 42:8

Scripture
“I am Jehovah. That is my name; I give my glory to no one else, nor my praise to graven images.”

About this song

A contemporary worship anthem built on the divine name itself. Opens with Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14-15) — "I will become whatever I choose to become" — and the answer Jehovah gave Moses to take to the sons of Israel: "This is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered from generation to generation." The bridge speaks Isaiah 42:8 back as Jehovah's own words: "I give my glory to no one else, nor my praise to graven images." The final chorus, with a half-step key change and full choir, declares the name from generation to generation, every nation, every tongue.

Lyrics

Intro

solo piano, soft strings enter

Verse 1

Moses at the bush that wouldn't burn

Asking who shall I say has sent me to return

And the voice came back from the holy ground

I will become whatever I choose to be found

Tell them Jehovah, the God of your fathers

The God of Abraham, of Isaac, of Jacob

This is my name forever, He said

This is how I am to be remembered

Pre-Chorus

strings swell

Generation to generation

Every nation, every tongue

Speak it out, the name eternal

There is only One

Chorus

full arrangement, choir backing

Jehovah, Jehovah

That is the name

Jehovah, Jehovah

Forever the same

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

The God of every generation

Jehovah, Jehovah

Forever the name

Verse 2

Through the prophets, through the kings, through the silence of the years

Through the praise of the faithful, through the doubt and through the tears

Through the writings of Moses, through the songs of David's pen

Through the voice in the wilderness, through the stones the children name

Jehovah, the One who was, who is, who is to come

Jehovah, the One whose purpose will be done

He gives His glory to no other one

And His praise He will not give to graven things

Pre-Chorus

Generation to generation

Every nation, every tongue

Speak it out, the name eternal

There is only One

Chorus

Jehovah, Jehovah

That is the name

Jehovah, Jehovah

Forever the same

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

The God of every generation

Jehovah, Jehovah

Forever the name

Bridge

music drops to piano + voice, intimate

You said I am Jehovah

That is my name

I give my glory to no one else

And no graven image gets my praise

You said this is my name forever

The name to be remembered always

And we will speak it, we will sing it

We will lift it all our days

Final Chorus

biggest, key change up half step, full choir

Jehovah! Jehovah!

That is the name!

Jehovah! Jehovah!

Forever the same!

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

The God of every generation

Jehovah! Jehovah!

Forever the name!

Outro

choir holds, softens, fade

Jehovah... Jehovah...

The name forever...

Forever the name...

Jehovah...
