God’s Name
by Paul Purdayhttps://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/PaulPurdayPaintings?ref=seller-platform-mcnav
God's Name is written in
Our very DNA
Nothing can be more wonderful
To have His Name - Yahweh.
His Name is on our breath
His air is in our lungs
For we breath in and then breath out
Yah….weh, beyond our tongues.
We are His miracle
His great creative prize
Divinely fashioned by His hand
The apple of His eyes.
But all who bear His Name
Would represent Him here
How far the apple soon would fall
His Name would disappear.
For man would carve his name
As though on every tree
And build a tower to the sky
His own attainment see.
God brought in many ways
That might restore His Name
And in the end would send His Son
To rectify man's shame.
We killed Him even then
Our wickedness complete
But Jesus dying would restore
And satan's power defeat.
Name above every name
There is no other now
And at the Name of Yeshua
Soon every knee will bow.
