Yahweh

This Sunday we are planning to introduce the song Yahweh by Reuben Morgan. It is a powerful song of worship that uses the sacred Hebrew name for God. It is important that we worship God as he is and not how we might want to make him be. He has revealed himself to us by many names in Scripture, but it is Yahweh that is his personal name.

We derive the name Yahweh from four Hebrew consonants YHWH. In revealing himself to us, God chose to combine his name with the Hebrew verb meaning “to be” signifying his eternal, transcendent glory. He is the God who was and is and always will be, and he shall reign forever. Check out the video below to hear Reuben Morgan talk about why he wrote the song:
