David Hepburn is a retired minister-of-music, choir director, band director, missionary, teacher, and school president, and a fine tenor and trumpeter. His many compositions are a testament to the works of Jesus he has seen in the lives of others and in his own life.

This song, part of David's musical Philippians - A Love Letter, is a great praise song about the Name above all names. In the sound sample, narrator Brian Bjorklund reads Philippians 2:9-11 to lead in the song.

There's a name above all names; that name is Jesus.
There's a joy above all joy; it comes from Jesus.
There's a power greater than all the power man has ever known;
It works within the hearts of men when Jesus takes control.
There's a satisfying sensation when you triumph in his name.
There's a change in your outlook of life; it can never be the same.
Your life is lifted; Spirit-gifted, you'll find new happiness the day
You come to Jesus. He is the way.
