The name itself is powerful
As Joshua ‘The Lord saves’
The Messiah, the Anointed One
Who was risen from the grave.
His name evokes a response
Either for good or for bad,
Because He made bold exclusive claims
That make us either glad or mad.
Jesus made bold statements;
As the source of forgiveness of sins,
And that He’s the only way to salvation
When we trust in only Him.
He made it very clear
He’s the way, the truth and the life,
The only source to a relationship with the Father
That through Him will only suffice.
He asserted that He was one with the Father
And with God claimed equality,
But was accused of blasphemy from those
Where the truth they could not see.
No other religious leader
Claimed to ever be God indeed,
And that’s the reason the name of Jesus Christ
Will always take the lead.
It’s not narrow-mindedness
To place hope in only Him,
Because the gate indeed is narrow
When we’re delivered from our sins.
It is truly inspirational
Knowing that God dwelt in the flesh,
To reconcile His creation
And for His Spirit to manifest.
When we honour His deity
We have respect for His claims,
And trust in His integrity
As we have reverence for His name.
Our Savior and our Anointed One
How majestic are His ways;
He’s God, the epitome of love and grace
Who secures our eternal days.
