Most Marvelous Name

Say the Name
And watch waters
Part before you.
On the one side
Smiling faces
Touched by grace.
On the other
Clear discomfort,
Cold suspicion.
And a charge
That you are clearly
Out of place.

Say the Name
And the demons
Look for cover;
And a shaft of
Light invades
Where darkness reigned.
And a glimpse of
Hope uplifts
The weary sufferer.
Rest and rescue,
Timeless Gospel
Still the same.

Say the Name
And a cloud of
Watchers hovers closer.
Those who fought
And felt the cut
Of unbelief.
Smiling now in
Halls of Glory
With their Saviour.
Praising “Jesus”
And forgetting
All their grief.
