The first verse of Benny Hinn's song Jesus Name Above All Names magnifies the supremacy of Jesus in the Christian faith. Jesus is recognized as the most superior name of all names because it represents the embodiment of divine grace and mercy. The chorus speaks of Jesus as a beautiful savior and a glorious Lord. His presence is also seen as Emmanuel, which means "God with us." Jesus is also known as the blessed Redeemer and the living word which emphasizes his role as the Word of God made flesh. The entire song acknowledges the magnificence and the power of Jesus Christ and emphasizes the central place he occupies in the lives of his followers.
The second verse of the song further emphasizes the incomparable nature of Jesus Christ. The Lord is more precious than silver, more costly than gold, and more beautiful than diamonds. There is no desire that compares to the satisfaction of knowing and serving Jesus Christ. The song reminds us that only Jesus truly satisfies our deepest longings, and that he alone can meet our every need. It encourages believers to rely on him for all things, both material and spiritual.
