Natalie Grant wears a lot of hats. She’s a powerhouse vocalist, social activist (and founder of the Home Foundation to rescue victims of human trafficking), working mom, entrepreneur and four-time GMA Female Vocalist of the Year. She released her eighth album, Love Revolution, on Curb Records last August, which has such singles as “Greatness Of Our God”, “Human” and “Your Great Name.”

Natalie doesn’t play it safe or get overly cliché in her lyrics. For me, this album is a great mix of worship and pop. In my opinion, this is Natalie’s best overall album and was one of my top albums of 2010.

This album is still in heavy rotation for me. I like every song, and I don’t skip any of them. I was thrilled to see Natalie’s much deserved GMA Dove Award nominations, including Best Artist, Female Vocalist and Pop Album of the Year.

I had the great privilege to speak with Natalie about her amazing new song “Your Great Name,” written by Michael Neale and Krissy Nordhoff. (I previously spoke with Natalie and wrote about her first single, “Greatness of Our God,” which is nominated for a GMA Dove Award for Worship Song of the Year.)

Please tell me about the background message of the song "Your Great Name."

Although I am a songwriter, this is a song that I didn’t write personally. I want to record songs that move me the most and be honest in my delivery of the songs. This song was written by Michael Neale out of People’s Church in Franklin, Tenn. Some people from their church suggested that I record this song. The first time I heard it, I was so moved by the song. I think one of the things that moved me the most was the simplicity and power of saying the name of Jesus.

Sometimes, our worship songs are wordy and overly complicated. We sometimes come up with cool and creative ways to tell the story, and what I really love about this song is that nothing matters more than Jesus. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but we as an industry, including myself, have recorded lots of songs about God and His greatness and how big He is. What’s important to remember is that we can’t get to God except through His Son, Jesus. It’s so exciting to sing a song which proclaims the name of Jesus. God is great, but there aren’t a lot of songs that really proclaim the name of Jesus.

Do you have a life verse or any Bible verses that connects with the message of the song?

Philippians 2:5-11: “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
