Brandon Lake and CeCe Winans’ must-see ‘I Know A Name’ performance video recently caught my eye on YouTube and gave me chills. There is something so powerful and captivating about watching these two worship giants sing together that you can almost see God’s fingerprints all over their passion and purpose. It feels as though they were born for this moment, and we as fans were made for this kind of encouragement in the middle of our struggles.

This song is exactly what you need when life feels heavy—the kind of anthem that helps you stay faithful and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus no matter how tough the road gets. It’s like a cool glass of lemonade on a hot day, a refreshing reminder that God isn't finished yet, no matter how hard things are. Brandon opens with a bold declaration:

“I know a name that can silence the roaring waves 
I know a name that can empty out a grave I know a name
It’s the only name that saves and it’s worthy of all praise.”

Their voices blend beautifully on the chorus as they call on Jesus as Healer and Savior, risen and reigning in power. CeCe’s powerful vocals flow seamlessly alongside Brandon’s as they remind us of the King who holds dominion over death, whose holy nail-scarred hands have crushed the serpent’s head. The refrain—“Chains break, dry bones wake, the gates of hell shake every time I call Your name”—is a stirring reminder of Jesus’ authority and victory.

Watching this performance feels less like entertainment and more like a God whispered moment of love, as they sing that dead things come alive in the name of Jesus. No matter how hopeless a situation seems, life and hope break through when we call on His name. The bridge echoes this victorious truth:

“Where, oh death, is now your sting? And where, oh grave, your victory?”

If you haven’t seen Brandon and CeCe’ ‘I Know A Name’ sing this song, make sure to watch it—it will stir your soul, strengthen your faith, and remind you that Jesus is worthy of all praise, holding power over every situation.

Remember the name above all names when life feels overwhelming, and let this song bring you back to hope, strength, and victory. Share it with a friend who needs this reminder today, too!

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:37-39
