There’s the name.
There’s the name we want to be called,
The name we put on our door.
The name that lies on our office desks,
The name we call ourselves.
~
Then, there’s the name.
The name they whisper behind our backs,
The name that makes us shudder.
The name that we can’t stand to hear,
The name we wished was over.
~
But there’s another Name.
A Name higher than all other names.
A Name that is great and greatly to be praised.
A Name that brings healing, hope and strength.
A Name that’s like a Rock, where we can go and dwell.
~
And finally, there’s a name.
The name I am called by God,
As He numbers the hairs on my head.
The name He speaks,
And the words are real.
That’s the name I will call myself.
~
Regardless of what names they call,
I will call His Name.
In every situation, at every time,
The name of Jesus, I will lift high.
~
Jesus!
