The name of Jesus means so much.
Where can I begin?
Healing and salvation:
Freedom from the grip of sin.
A refuge and a fortress-
The rock on which we stand.
Our closest friend: The one who bears our scars in His own hand.
Jesus means protection like no weapon can afford.
The mention of His name can shatter
any chain or cord.
His still small voice means comfort to a broken heart;
Yet at his roar the clouds roll back! Oceans move apart!
His name has changed the total course
of all humanity.
Upon this fact the most decided skeptics still agree.
No matter what the question is- The answer's still the same-
For everything we'll ever need is found within that name!
