This mention of Jesus also brings about the incarnation of Christ in the flesh for humanity to know the presence of God in our midst. The chorus introduces us to Jesus as God, which helps the congregation to remember that we know God as all persons in the Trinity. There are no references to personal pronouns where God is concerned, other than the gender-neutral “your,” which means that the author understands the nature of a non-gender-specific God and the focus of the song is praise of the one being praised rather than a focus on the object of the praise. The use of Your is a reference to God, as the lyrics suggest in “shout your name oh Lord.” The song begins with an inclusion of creation, thus teaching the congregation that all of God’s creation is to praise and worship. It’s written from a collective standpoint, so rather than using the word “I” the author uses “we” which invites and includes everyone to sing and “shout your name oh Lord.” The song is inclusive of the entire congregation rather than just a performance-based piece.
