I think it’s one that needs to be added to everyone’s list of names of God/Jesus.Īccording to this description, not only is God wonderful, but the WAY he makes for us is a wonderful way… or to quote another of her songs, “a more excellent way.” Her use here of the term “way maker” to describe God is so much right on target, because as Jehovah Jireh, one of God’s greatest provisions for us is his ability to seemingly ALWAYS find a way for us… out of one situation into another, out of some crisis or dilemma, or into some ministry or mission we had never dreamed of for ourselves. “Trust His Heart,” “With All My Heart,” “All Rise,” etc.) I’ve been a fan of hers for many years, but as she sang, I realized how many of her songs had ministered to me throughout the years. You’ll hear that if you listen to it at the link below.īabbie was at our church last night to do a concert just for our choir. The stanzas go on to expand the list to just about everything you’d come up with if asked to jot down things that come to mind when you think of God. What I like about it is that this is a listing of names and attributes of God: I know that’s a stretch, especially for those of us who have standards for what is considered a hymn or gospel song! The part of this CD track that is printed in current songbooks is actually the refrain… or chorus of a piece with several stanzas or verses. Now that this Babbie Mason song has been included in some hymnals, I can use it as a hymnline. Song: “Hallowed Be Thy Name” – Words & Music by Babbie Mason and Robert Lawson
