Last night, while riding in the car with my RA's, one of them started softly singing this song. This particular song means a lot to me. I've actually written about it before on this blog. You can too, here.
Four years ago, I heard this song over and over again, during a summer that changed my life. Before that that summer, I had never heard it. There was a traveling worship band that I encountered three different times that summer, at three different camps, and every week, they would sing this song. There seemed to be a special annointing on this song. It was so powerful. I have searched and searched and have never found a recorded version of this song that even comes close to making me feel the way it did that summer. Apparently, they sang it in chapel yesterday. I really wish I was there. This song is called "No Sweeter Name" and it only has two verses. Really simple lyrics. You can search for it and try to find it, but I promise that you will never find a version as good as the one I heard in the summer of 2005.
No sweeter name than the name of Jesus
No sweeter name have I ever known
No sweeter name than the name of Jesus
You are the life to my heart and my soul
You are the light to the darkness around me
You are the hope to the hopeless, the broken
You are the only truth and the way
