I BLESS YOUR HOLY NAME

Song Story: THE MUSIC: This is such a long (pretty cool) story that I put it at the end...
would notice that there are several sets of scriptures that I REPEATEDLY emphasize in songs. This song contains the 3 most used sets of scriptures ---
Ephesians 3:20 to 21 --- IN GOD's Power and ONLY for HIS glory.... which SHOULD include in the churches, per God in verse 21;
Ephesians 6: 10 to end -- seeking God's protection from SATAN who canNOT hurt God himself... so he relentless temps US to do that.
and James 1: 5 and 6 -- prayer for wisdom.
This last set, James 1: 5-6, is actually my favorite verse in the Bible, far beyond John 3:16. NOW, before someone has time to finish gasping, let me quickly explain:
Without the Holy Spirit's gift of Wisdom -- which He doesn't “JUST DUMP” on us -- we are told to ASK -- we humans don't even KNOW that John 3:16 is essential to Life.
Song Story: THE TITLE: I prayer-filledly use the website for Christ-ian Copyright Licensing International -- www.CCLI.com -- to try to find unique titles for God's songs through me. CCLI had about a dozen songs titled for each of the first two main phrases of this song.... Thus this song's title is its 3rd, and most often repeated (AND prayed by me) line--- I BLESS YOUR HOLY NAME! and I dearly do, LORD.
Dedicated to our Wondrous Holy God 10 January 2013

Song Story: THE MUSIC: A dear prayer partner and many-years-long friend, Pastor K, had a piano tuning appointment in a town less than half an hour from mine. We decided to meet for lunch in that town after he finished the tuning. I went early to the church where he was working, in case he finished early. I love “alone time” with God. I just sat in the open cargo door of my van with my guitar and journal, praying and asking God for “some song.”
This song “happened” -- God's guidance -- and was complete in 15 minutes, music as well as the words.
I started practicing music and lyrics, making a few wording changes because a few of my original words had too many syllables to be clear when I sang. (Clarity of God's Words is always my highest priority, far above music skill itself).
As I played, a car drove into the parking spot beside mine, with one empty space between. An elderly gentleman just continued sitting behind the steering wheel, perhaps waiting for someone at church himself, I thought. I continued practicing, having the song “complete” by then. Then I played the 3 verses again.
When I finished and set aside my guitar to write a couple more notes, the gentleman jokingly asked, “Where's your gig?” I smiled and said “Well, I used to play at the church down the street, but I don't have any gigs now!”
He paused a moment, reached down, then put a hand out with his business card -- I thought. I reached for it, realized it was two $5 bills, and said --- “OH -- no thanks, that's OK!” He dropped the bills out his window and said “That's for you” and drove off. I picked them up, sat back on the van edge, and was laughing and laughing-praying thanks to God when my friend came out a few minutes later.
For I was yet once again heart-broken to have left a band where I loved serving LORD God, where I would continue to worship but knew God was leading me to stop playing for His reasons. And this was like God's COMFORT to me ... and our mutual joking! (P.S., I gave the $10 to someone else who really needed not just the $$ but also the Word that
God cares for her
and comforts her in her sorrow at her husband's death.
