Chuck SpanglerGrace Memorial Parishioner "He Knows My Name" Album: If We're Honest Artist: Francesca Battistelli Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love. I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it. ‘If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you for ever. This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you. ‘I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you. These next two cuts pair well together. The first was written by Francesco Battistelli and performed live in the K-Love studio. Francesco is a Christian singer and songwriter born in New York City in 1985. She released her first of five albums in 2004, and received a Grammy nomination in 2009 for “Free to be Me”. A number of her single recordings have reached the Top 10, with her recording “Breakup Song” (released June 15, 2018) rapidly climbed the charts…both pop and Christian music. Her song “He Knows My Name” was re-recorded for K-Love as one of the nominations for 2015 K-Love Song of the Year. Note the line, “He calls me chosen…free…wanted…child of the King…His forever…held and treasured”, surely capturing the all encompassing love of God. "He Knows My Name" Lyrics: Spent today in a conversation in the mirror face to face with somebody less than perfect, I wouldn’t choose me first if I was looking for a champion, in fact I’d understand if You picked everyone before me…that’s just not my story. True to who You are, You saw my heart and made something out of nothing, so I don’t need my name in lights, I’m famous in my Father’s eyes, make no mistake, He Knows My Name. I’m not living for applause, I’m already so adored, it’s all His stage, He Knows My Name. I’m not meant to just stay quiet, I’m meant to be a Lion, I’ll roar beyond a song with every moment that I’ve got. True to who You are, You saw my heart and made something out of nothing, I don’t need my name in lights, I’m famous in my Father’s eyes, make no mistake, He Knows My Name. I’m not living for applause, I’m already so adored, it’s all His stage, He Knows My Name. He calls me “chosen”, “free”, “forgiven”, “wanted”, “child of the King”, “His forever”, “held and treasured”, I am loved. I don’t need my name in lights, I’m famous in my Father’s eyes, oh I don’t need my name in lights, I’m famous in my Father’s eyes, make no mistake, He Knows My Name. I’m not living for applause, I’m already so adored, it’s all His stage said, He Knows My Name. He Knows My Name…He Knows My Name…He Knows My Name. “He Knows My Name” was excerpted by Anthem Lights as a part of their K-Love 2015 Song of the Year Mash-Up: "2015 K-LOVE Mash-Up" Album: If We're Honest Artist: Anthem Lights Anthem Lights is a quartet of talented young men from Nashville that combine impeccable harmony with inspirational music founded in 2007 by Chad Graham (tenor).

Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling-places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way to the place where I am going.’ Thomas said to him, ‘Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

What a beautiful name it is, what a beautiful name it is, the name of Jesus Christ my King. What a beautiful name it is, nothing compares to this, What a beautiful name it is, the name of Jesus. You didn’t want heaven without earth, so Jesus You brought heaven down. My sin was great, Your love was greater, what could separate us now?

What a wonderful name it is, the name of Jesus. How sweet is Your name, Lord, how good You are, Love to sing in the name of the Lord, love to sing for you all. Death could not hold You, the veil tore before You, You silenced the boast of sin and grave. The heavens are roaring, the praise of Your glory, for You are raised to life again. You have no rival, You have no equal, now and forever God You reign. Yours is the kingdom, Yours is the glory, Yours is the name above all names. What a powerful name it is, what a powerful name it is, the name of Jesus Christ my King. What a powerful name it is, nothing can stand against, What a powerful name it is, the name of Jesus. You have no rival, You have no equal, now and forever God You reign. Yours is the kingdom, Yours is the glory, Yours is the name above all names.
