Lord Jesus, Name above all names.

 Of course. Here is a poem celebrating the wonderful name of Jesus, woven with the scripture that reveals its power and beauty.

### The Name Above All Names

Before the world began, it was ordained,

A name above all other names, proclaimed.

Not born of mortal choice or human pride,

But from the heart of God, for us supplied.

This is the name the angels understood,

The whispered promise of all things made good.

In Bethlehem’s humility, it took its breath,

A weapon forged against the power of death.

**Jesus.** The angel said the word so clear,

“You are to give him this name, for He shall save

His people from their sins.” The life He gave

Would be the meaning that the world would hear.

**Yeshua.** Salvation. That is what it means,

The hope that intervenes, cleanses, redeems.

The name that was the answer to the cry

Of prophets who looked on with longing eye.

The name that makes the stumbling spirit whole,

The anchor and the compass of the soul.

At this name, every knee must one day bow,

In heaven above, and on the earth below.

Every tongue confess, in joyous fear,

That Jesus Christ is Lord—so crystal clear.

For God exalted Him to the highest place,

And poured on Him the riches of His grace.

**It is a shelter,** a strong and mighty tower,

The righteous run in, and are safe in peril’s hour.

**It is a key** that opens heaven’s door,

Whatever we ask in this name, we receive and more.

For we come to the Father through Him alone,

Presented and perfect, on His merit alone.

**It is a weapon** that makes the darkness flee,

“In Jesus’ name!” commands the enemy to flee.

A declaration that the battle’s won,

Through the finished work of the eternal Son.

**It is a healing balm,** a gentle sound,

That makes the lame to leap on solid ground.

“In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!”

Is the authority behind the apostles’ talk.

What a wonderful name! The sweetest word we know,

The source of all our hope, the song we owe.

The name that calms our fears and dries our tears,

The name that echoes through the coming years.

Emmanuel, God with us, Prince of Peace,

Lion of Judah, whose reign will never cease.

Every glorious title finds its home

In the wonderful name of Jesus, and alone.

We speak it in our weakness and our praise,

This wonderful name, through everlasting days.

Amen.
