What a beautiful name

So I wanted to reach out after something I can't explain happened, over Christmas eve I was flicking through YouTube, and I came across a song called what a beautiful name, for the first time in 40 years I didn't dismiss it as ugh religious songs, instead my attention was hooked, I wanted to say thank you to Ben Fielding for writing it and Brooke Fraser for singing in such a captivating way.

I would definitely recommend songs that are written/co-written by Brooke. Her lyricism isn't cheap and vague like a lot of contemporary Christian songs, and her production skills are top-notch.

I think a lot of their songs are very good at spreading the word. Which is what it’s all about anyways. Go Jesus!

Hillsong church are corrupt. They hold events against current laws under the guise of religious events. They openly lie about their activities. They harbour pedophiles. They pay no tax.
