That Name! Poem by Gladys Brown Prince

With five letters they spelt His name
Who would believe it comes with fame
They put Him to an open shame
To see if Him they could defame
But poorly did they play their game

The weight this name does always bring
Says much of our eternal king
Great power is given to you and me
When in that name we look to see
What His promises were meant to be

This name is the power of love divine
When used can make your love sublime
It makes you see while in the dark
And pulls your soul out with a spark
That on the road to heaven you'll embark

The power that name does exert
Can shake the earth for all its worth
What’s in a name so many would ask
But why not put it to the task
And see whether it’s just a mask

That name I know from outward flow
Of those who have celestial glow
They sing with praise throughout the age
The name to which there is no gauge
As it has always set the stage

God gave that name so man could claim
The riches lost to man from shame
The fellowship that God desires
In Jesus’ name it comes through prayer
This name will set your heart on fire

Since Jesus is that precious name
Let’s use it oft’ and here proclaim
If on this name you lay your claim
Eternity will be yours to gain
And you'll be given a golden crown
