Elevation Worship & Brandon Lake release 'I Know A Name'

Press Release

Grammy Award-winning Elevation Worship and Brandon Lake have teamed up for the release of a new song, “I Know A Name.” This powerful anthem looks beyond any situation to the power of Jesus. “I Know A Name” is available now, along with the live music video below.

“I Know A Name” was recorded at Elevation Church, and the congregation was immediately encouraged to declare there is only one name that has emptied graves and swallowed up death in victory. Only one name that carries salvation and causes hell to tremble. And it’s in that name of Jesus that his people triumph.

“When I recognize my own insufficiency,” shares Chris Brown from Elevation Worship, “I make room for the one who is all-sufficient to step in. I don’t have enough wisdom, don’t know how to get over this anxiety, don’t know if I’ve got enough strength to keep fighting, but I know the one who does. His name is Jesus and he holds all authority in heaven and on earth.”

The special relationship between Elevation Worship and Lake over the years has produced numerous worship favorites, including the Grammy-nominated and RIAA Gold-certified “Praise,” “LION,” and “Graves Into Gardens,” to name a few.

Listen to the brand-new song “I Know A Name” and watch the live music video below.

Elevation Worship will hit the road again for “Elevation Nights” at the end of this month. The tour will begin Feb. 25 with a sold-out show in Fort Worth, Texas. It has also reached record-breaking ticket sales for the largest-attended Christian events at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, with over 13,000 tickets sold, and Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, with over 15,000 tickets sold.
