SONG STUDY (30) JESUS, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NAME


Tanya Riches. "At just 15 years of age Tanya Riches wrote her way into Australia Christian Music history.

Her first song ‘Jesus What a Beautiful Name’ has become one of our nation’s favourite worship tunes, and was just the beginning of her ministry. Tanya went on to become a Hillsong Worship Leader, front her own band ‘Speaking for Sarah’, wrote her Masters on a critique of Hillsong Music, and is now back in Oz conducting field work for her doctorate thesis.

Transitioning between the worlds of traditional ministry and academic pursuit has allowed Tanya to see the way faith impacts directly on culture, and the ways we perceive worship in mainstream society."

Tanya Riches singing this song: Jesus, What a Beautiful Name

         Jesus, what a beautiful name.

         Son of God, Son of Man,

         Lamb that was slain.

         Joy and peace, strength and hope,

         Grace that blows all fear away.

         Jesus, what a beautiful name.

 

         Jesus, what a beautiful name.

         Truth revealed, my future sealed,

         Healed my pain.

         Love and freedom, life and warmth,

         Grace that blows all fear away.

         Jesus, what a beautiful name.

 

         Jesus, what a beautiful name.

         Rescued my soul, my stronghold,

         Lifts me from shame.

         Forgiveness, security, power and love,

         Grace that blows all fear away.

         Jesus, what a beautiful name.

                             
Questions:

1.   Understanding the words: slain, stronghold, security.

2.   The name of Jesus is often mentioned in Scripture: see 

Acts 3:16, 4:12-19, Matthew 1:21, Mark 9:37-41 and 

Philippians 2:9-11. What do they all add up to?

3.   The statement “Son of God, Son of Man” sums up what has 

always been one of the great issues of Christian doctrine. 

The question is, how can he be both (at the same time)? 

See Hebrews 2:14-18, John 1:1 and Philippians 2:5-11.

 Is he still both God and Man, or was that 

something that only applied while he was here on earth?

4.   The lamb that was slain. See Numbers 15:1-5, John 1:29-36, 

Revelation 5:11-14 and 13:5-8. 

Why is Jesus the “lamb of God”?

5.   Another repeated line is “grace that blows all fear away”. 

What does this mean? See Acts 9:31, Romans 8:12-17, 

1 Peter 3:13-16 and 1 John 4:18.

6.   Jesus spoke about the truth. What did he mean by it? 

See John 3:16-21, 4:24, 8:31-32, 14:6, 14:15-17, 17:13-19 

and 18:36-38.

7.   In the final verse we read words which remind us of many of the Psalms. See Psalm 16:8-11, 18:17-19, 37:9, 53:7-8, 107:20, 130:4, 145:14, 147:5.

SONG STUDY (1) INTRODUCTION - BIBLE STUDIES BASED ON HYMNS AND SONGS The words in most hymns and Christian songs often contain quotes from the Bible and these are frequently taken from the King James (Authorised) translation. Because of changes in word meanings since the seventeenth century, modern singers frequently have only a vague understanding of what the song writer meant. Even songs being written today use difficult words and ideas. There is a tendency to use what may be called "Christian jargon", which may be meaningful to some and meaningless to others. Stuart Townend (1963 -) It is assumed that the reader has a copy of the Bible on hand. There are many modern translations around; the writer uses the NIV (New International Version). Isaac Watts 1674-1748 The studies in this blog series have been used at the Glen Innes and Lithgow Baptist churches in NSW, Australia.

Song Study 12: Meekness and Majesty

Song Study (12) MEEKNESS AND MAJESTY This is a modern hymn by Graham Kendrick (UK), written in 1986. Like the earlier hymns we have examined, it is based on Scripture and contains some difficult words. The message of the song is “ When God became man in the form of Jesus he came as a servant. This is what he expects of us too. ” Rather than a series of questions, let’s look at a series of “key Scriptures” to help us understand what this means and how we are to respond to God’s grace.  Meekness and Majesty:  Meekness And Majesty - Graham Kendrick Lyric Video - YouTube                                Meekness and majesty, Manhood and Deity, In perfect harmony, The Man who is God. Lord of eternity Dwells in humanity, Kneels in humility And washes our feet.      O what a mystery, Meekness and majesty. Bow down and worship For this is your God, This is your G...
