Let me talk about this American ministration. “Away In A Manger / Worthy Is Your Name” is a powerful worship song by American gospel/Christian contemporary Christian band. They are made up of talented singers and worship leaders.
They group features another American popular Christian singers, preacher, songwriters and worship leaders, Kim Walker-Smith and Chandler More.
This very song was written by William James Kirkpatrick, Martin Luther, John Thomas McFarland, Stephen Furtick, Chris Brown, Mack Brock & Frederick Whitfield. And it came from Maverick City Music’s newest Christmas album, titled “A Very Maverick Christmas.”
This song is a beautiful mix of two worship songs. The first part, “Away in a Manger,” is a classic Christmas song that talks about the birth of Jesus.
Then the second part, “Worthy Is Your Name,” is all about praising Jesus for who He is and everything He has done.
When Maverick City Music combines these two, it creates a powerful message of love, humility and worship.
Let me start to explain with “Away in a Manger.” This part of the song tells the story of baby Jesus being born in a manger, which is just a feeding place for animals.
That might seem small or unimportant, but it’s actually really special. It shows how Jesus came to the world in the most humble way.
Even though He’s the Son of God, He didn’t come with fancy things or riches. He came in a simple way so that we could all feel close to Him.
This song also asks Jesus to stay close, bless the children and never leave us. It’s a gentle and comforting part that makes you feel safe and loved.
Then the song shifts to “Worthy Is Your Name.” This part is full of deep worship. It’s like saying, “Jesus, You deserve all the praise.
You are holy, powerful and good.” The word “worthy” here means that Jesus has earned our love, respect and worship because of who He is and what He’s done. He gave His life for us, He forgives us, and He stays with us always.
However, this song helps you slow down and remember that Jesus isn’t just a story from long ago. He’s real, He’s loving and He’s still changing lives today.
It invites you to worship from your heart and say, “Jesus, thank You for coming into my life and I honor You with everything I have.” Amen!!
