Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Can you say?
The innocence forsaken
Upon that cross, you gave yourself for us
Carried into your freedom
Our broken past replaced in a second chance
The chains have come undone
Death defied in the Father's love
We are living to make your name high
Jesus, living to make your name high
Jesus, you gave what the world couldn't offer us
Say what they want, say what they want, "We are free"
(Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) can you say?
The atmosphere is changing, oh, can you hear?
The people rising up in the hope of your freedom
Our former ways are breaking, we seek your face
God, let your kingdom come and our praises be lifted up (can you say?)
'Cause we are living to make your name high
Jesus, living to make your name high
Jesus, you gave what the world couldn't offer us
Say what they want, say what they want, "We are free"
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
With eyes on high, we praise you
With one voice, we come together
Our one desire, to praise you and lift you up in our surrender
With eyes on high, we praise you
With one voice, we come together
Our one desire, to praise you and lift you up (c'mon)
'Cause we are living to make your name high
(Jesus, living to make your name high)
Jesus, you gave what the world couldn't offer us
Say what they want, say what they want
We are living to make your name high
Jesus, living to make your name high
Jesus, you gave what the world couldn't offer us
Say what they want, say what they want, "We are free"
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (come on, lift up your souls)
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
About This Song
"Your Name High" is a passionate worship anthem that celebrates Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross and the transformative freedom it brings to believers. The song builds from intimate verses reflecting on Christ's innocence given up for humanity's brokenness to an explosive, declarative chorus where worshippers commit to living solely to elevate Jesus' name above all else. Musically, it features Hillsong's signature contemporary worship style with driving drums, soaring electric guitars, and anthemic vocals that create an atmosphere of celebration and surrender. The lyrics emphasize themes of redemption, spiritual freedom from past chains, and the radical transformation that comes through faith, while the repeated declaration "we are free" serves as both personal testimony and corporate proclamation. This track exemplifies Hillsong's ability to craft worship songs that are both theologically rich and emotionally stirring, making it a powerful tool for congregational worship that encourages believers to live with bold, unashamed devotion.
