Praise His Holy Name
by Barbara Philbrook

There is a name that means so very much to me,
no matter when I hear it I rejoice jubilantly.

A name so sweet it makes even a bitter person smile,
that it affects the entire world there is really no denial.

The name that can cure illness and make the lame to walk,
open eyes that were blind and cause the mute to talk.

A name that when spoken binds the evil one,
the name is that of God's own precious Son.

Jesus that is the name that means so much to me,
it was my Savior Jesus who died to set me free.

Jesus, precious Jesus, I praise His name day and night,
to serve Him in any capacity brings me such delight.

There is no other name that can instill such peace in my heart,
Jesus is the name, I've loved it from the start.

Jesus who was willing to give up the throne,
to come and be rejected and disrespected and still my sins atone.

Jesus who's love led Him to the cross to die,
and who still loves us though I often wonder why.

The name induces the peace that passeth understanding,
the name that has ten thousand angels to answer His commanding.

Praise His holy name, praise it in good times or bad,
praise it when you are elated and when you are sad.

Praise His holy name, give Him honor and glory,
for Jesus is the name in God's salvation story.
