Lead Sheet with Guitar Chords & B♭ Instrument Part (Digital PDF Download)
Originally written in 1974 by Naida Hearn, Jesus’ Name Above All Names came from a period of personal devotional reflection on the biblical names of Christ. While carrying out everyday household tasks in Palmerston North, New Zealand, Hearn found herself meditating on Philippians 2:9–11, and the words and melody of this simple yet profound worship chorus emerged together in one uninterrupted flow. The song was first sung in her local church and later became widely known through the Scripture in Song movement, with the composer describing it as a devotional love song meant to be sung slowly and reverently, focusing entirely on the person of Jesus. [songfacts.com], [sermonwriter.com]This arrangement has been created for church worship use, offering a clear, flexible format suitable for singers, guitarists, and instrumentalists while keeping the layout concise and practical.
