"Jesus Be The Name (Instrumental Version)" by Emmanuel Songsore: When the Name Is Enough


Emmanuel Songsore - Jesus Be The Name (Instrumental Version)

Some names open doors. One name stands above them all and changes everything. 

Emmanuel Songsore didn’t add words to this track — he didn’t need to. His piano cover of Elevation Worship’s “Jesus Be The Name” carries the full weight of the original without a single lyric. That’s the point… the name itself does the work. 

The lyrics of the original song declare it plainly: “Your name is like the morning light, the One the darkness can’t deny.” Darkness doesn’t argue with strategy or willpower. It retreats from a name. That name — Jesus — holds authority over everything that tries to dim your life. 

Think about what His name piles up: healing, freedom, salvation, the grave overwhelmed, the storm made still. This is just a fraction of what His name actually does. When we sing, “There is no other name”, that isn’t exclusion — it’s giving clarity. When every other option has run out, this one hasn’t. 

Philippians 2:9–11 puts it plainly: “God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow.” Every name/knee bows! That means fear bows, sickness bows, shame bows. Whatever is standing over you right now — it is not exempt — it will bow! 

Say His Name today, not as a formality, but as a declaration. Let His name be the first word you reach for before a problem gets a chance to settle in. The lyrics of the original song say it sweetly: “It’s sweeter every time that I call on it.” That sweetness grows with use. 

Go ahead and listen to Emmanuel Songsore’s instrumental rendition and let the melody carry what words sometimes can’t. “There’s salvation in Your name alone.”

(Related scripture: Philippians 2:9–10; Acts 4:12; Proverbs 18:10)

Background:

Emmanuel’s goal is to share instrumental piano music from the very depths of his heart. Listeners can expect to hear original piano compositions, ambient music and covers of existing worship music. His ultimate hope and prayer is that this music will bless you, fill you with peace and help you relax!

Release date: May 29, 2026

"Whoop The Devil" by Destin Dumais: Standing in Christ's Authority

Who gave you the authority to stand firm? Destin Dumais opens his debut single with an amazing sound that excites, gets you up on your feet, and gets you ready to conquer. “Whoop The Devil” is a hard-hitting country-rock song with one clear message: As believers, we hold real authority in Christ! The song starts with a cowboy scene. “Gonna saddle up and ride, ain’t no place you can hide.” Then comes the line that makes an important difference: “Been deputized, authorized.” Nobody appoints himself to this work. The badge was handed over at Calvary. Jesus said it plainly in Luke 10:19: “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” Who gives the authority? Jesus does! This kind of confidence never relies on your strength, your mood, or your track record. This confidence rests on His name, and His name only! Does that now mean that our fears will disappear for good? Not always. Destin admits that...

"Faith Like Daniel" by Marlee Smith: Praising God When the World Says No

Who do you trust when everyone disagrees? What do you do when the world says that your God doesn’t matter? Marlee Smith’s energetic pop-rock song, “Faith Like Daniel,” comes with an all-teenage female band behind her, and her response to what the world says is anything but timid. When the world feels overturned, she’ll keep “praising my Father,” even when the world says she shouldn’t. Remember what we read in the Bible about Daniel? Daniel knew that pressure. A royal decree banned prayer to anyone but the king for a period of thirty days. Daniel heard the news, went home, opened his windows, and prayed as he always had. No speeches. No protest. Just steady faith, three times a day. Then came the lions, and what happened that night in the den became a testimony. Scripture says, “No kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God” (Daniel 6:23). Daniel never trusted that his circumstances would be easy. He trusted the One who stood over them. Marlee’s message carries t...

"I’ll Rejoice" by David Dowdell: Finding Joy in God When Plans Fail

Can you praise God when nothing goes right? Empty vines. Failed crops. A barn with no animals. David Dowdell opens his song, “I’ll Rejoice”, with a list of losses that is so complete that it feels as if “there is nothing left at all.” David took his inspiration from the book of Habakkuk and wrote a defiant anthem of praise for anyone whose plans have fallen apart (… we’ve all had that happen to us, one way or another…). The song also asks the question most of us try to avoid: “What if I never get to live the life I wanted?” Will you still trust God when all you have left is “a tired and broken heart” ? Be honest with yourself. Just about everyone has a ready answer for the sunny days, but hardly an answer for the dark ones. Habakkuk didn’t pretend. He saw disaster coming and said so. Still he wrote: “Yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.” (Habakkuk 3:18, ESV) Notice how this verse starts with the word “yet.” His joy didn’t wait for circumstance...
