“Flash forward almost 4 months, God ended up taking this song and doing big things with it...,” she continued. “I stand in awe of His goodness every day...All glory goes to You, my precious Lord & Savior.”

In a recent interview, Wilson added: “It’s been a whirlwind of emotions...[W]atching God take my story, which was something so broken, and turning it into something so beautiful.”

While the song includes Wilson’s soulful gospel, country voice, Wilson wrote the song out of tragedy.

Wilson’s older brother, Jacob, died in an accident when he was 23. Wilson, who was 15 at the time, said that she went to the piano and sang “What A Beautiful Name,” and later sang the popular Christian song at her brother’s funeral.

In 2017, Wilson posted her first YouTube video in honor of her brother.

“This song is dedicated to the loving memory of my beloved big brother, Jacob. Thank you Jacob for always encouraging us to praise God, work hard, and always be kind. We love and miss you more each and every day,” she wrote at the time.

In her latest success, Wilson wants to help people look to Jesus amid hardship and trial...
