Teach us, O Jesus,
To learn and meditate
on Your word
on Your word
In the ways of justice, peace, and love.
Without your teaching,
Your name becomes a magic formula.
Yet Your name is powerful,
And that power gives us grace.
To live Your word
Day by day,
Hour by hour,
Minute by minute.
All attempts without Your truth will fail
For only by the power
Of Your eternal grace
Can we stand.
Amen
A lovely lyric that reads smoothly and gives a memorable message. I like that you tell specifically what Jesus’s name can do for us.
ReplyDeleteRuth Ann wanted to hear your poem and said she liked it. It reminded her of the old song “Oh, tell me His name again. Repeat the glad refrain of One who in love came down from above. Oh, tell me His name again.”
