The Name of Jesus Why is the name of Jesus so inviting to the ear? These letters on a Bible’s page that beckon and endear The lips to utter them aloud in quiet solitude And scroll this word within our hearts, indelibly imbued Why is the name of Jesus such a tranquilizing sound? It soothes the ear like melodies that cradle our surround It is the rock on which we cling, in this tumultuous world And spells the name of beauty as each letter is unfurled Bit by bit and piece by piece, each letter fills the eye With meanings that no other word could ever dignify “J” is for the comfort and the sureness of His trust For though we falter in our step, we know that He is JUST “E” is for the everlasting blood upon His face Eternal Life, eternal Love, and His eternal Grace “S” is for the sacrifice He suffered on a cross So that the spirit’s heritage would not be certain loss “U” is undeniable, undisputed, undisguised For purity and truth are words that Jesus signifies “S” is for the Savior , the Redeemer, Holy Lamb The offspring of a Father, and the Fatherhood of man Why is the name of Jesus so inviting to the ear These letters on a Bible’s page that beckon and endear The lips to utter them aloud in quiet solitude And scroll His name within our hearts, indelibly imbued Elizabeth Santos - August 7, 2004 |

Elizabeth, I loved this poem, it shows your genuine devotion and love for our gracious savior. God Bless You and I hope to see more - Tim He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. Proverbs 28:26 |
