Holy Is Your Name

Behind the Song This song came out of reflection on The Magnificat, Mary’s poem of resistance and hope from Luke 1. So many of us have these pictures of little Mary, meek and mild, gently laying her child, etc. etc. In truth, if you read the words in Luke, it’s clear, there’s nothing meek and mild about her. When Mary realizes she’s pregnant, she goes off to visit her cousin Elizabeth…maybe to lay low and keep this whole unwed mother thing quiet. But when she gets there, something happens, and she breaks into a song. The words that come out of her mouth are nothing short of badass, nothing less than revolutionary. In "Holy Is Your Name” we tried to capture some of that spirit, and praise the God who sees and loves all who suffer, the God’s who’s ushering in a new day when “the poor will see that all hope’s not lost and grace flows free.” The Lyrics Verse 1 You have seen me in my sorrow You have heard me in my pain You have known me in my suffering You have loved me in my shame Chorus
