The Name
Name so holy
none could speak, nor hope
to venture near;
astounding, that the awesome One
would choose
to meet us
here. To grace
our undeserving path
with His steps
close to ours,
lift us up
in tenderness
by Hands
that made the stars.
Unworthy souls,
unworthy! We know it
to be true.
He would not
disagree
and still
He came
for me and you;
by the perfect Blood
of Christ – He is
our Passover Lamb –
we dare
to breathe the Name
of Him
who is
the great “I Am”.
