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 most unworthy steps
with His,
so close to ours
and lift us
with a tender touch
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,
and 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”.
