Jesus, Your name is the most precious on all the earth
So let your name be forever
A light to all people of Jesus
Let your teachings be our guide forever
And point the way to God
Oh Jesus, sweet and gentle, hold us in your heart
Let your teachings be a lamp on our path
Because it highlights your teachings
Which are to be obeyed and carried out
With our whole heart, mind, and soul
This is because you, Oh Jesus
Are the best teacher to help us understand
What is right and wrong.
Amen

I like the way you repeat the name"Jesus" over and over in the poem to remind us that He is a light and a guiding teacher for our life. Long ago someone else wrote a song titled "Oh, Tell Me That Name Again" and that is just what you have done.
ReplyDeleteI read your poem to Ruth Ann Miller. She thought it was beautiful and was glad you shared it with her. She thinks we heard the old song "O, tell Me That Name Again" in church when we were little kids.
