The Name

by Robert Hedrick © 2025

A name is called, their turn had came, for they were next in line,
I listened carefully, knowing that the next one called may be mine.
There were other names in the room,, each one waiting their call,
Then, by the time this day has ended , they have called them all

Later, on the evening news, names come by from across the globe,
Most belonging to ordinary people, yet one was wearing a royal robe.
Some of these names were familiar, for they were often on the news,
Others were just passing by and sharing with the media, their views.

On our jobs, there a number of names that make up the pay roll list,.
Each one carefully checked to be sure that not a one will be missed.
Some of these names, in time, will disappear as others are added on,
Then over a period of time, this name list, will more likely, have grown.

The scriptures have a number of names within this God inspired book,
One being well above the others, deserving more than a second look.
By far, the greatest name we will know as we dwell in our earthly vessel,
For this is the only name that can defeat the prince of the air we wrestle.
In time, all knees bow and all tongues confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
If we have believed this while on earth, then He will welcome us aboard.
