Grammy Award winner and global worship leader, Matt Redman, writer of 10,000 Reasons and Blessed Be Your Name, is highly regarded as a songwriter who can capture the revelation of God and the response of the Church in his songs. Redman is preparing to release Let There Be Wonder Acoustic EP, and he has preceded the release with a new acoustic take of "Jesus Your Name."

Jesus Your Name reinforces faith for today. From the opening lines of the chorus, 'Jesus Your name when the whole world shakes' to the verse cry, 'In every storm, You're the Prince Of Peace.' In keeping with churches now meeting in smaller numbers and smaller communities, Jesus Your Name has been beautifully captured in a rich organic setting, making this song both a beautiful daily soundtrack of faith and an accessible arrangement for worship leaders and churches.
