Jesus! the Name high over all,
In hell or earth or sky;
Angels and men before it fall,
And devils fear and fly.
Jesus! the Name to sinners dear,
The Name to sinners giv’n;
It scatters all their guilty fear,
It turns their hell to Heav’n.
Jesus! the prisoner’s fetters breaks,
And bruises Satan’s head;
Power into strengthless souls it speaks,
And life into the dead.
Thee I shall constantly proclaim,
Though earth and hell oppose;
Bold to confess Thy glorious Name
Before a world of foes.
His only righteousness I show,
His saving grace proclaim;
’Tis all my business here below
To cry “Behold the Lamb!”
Happy, if with my latest breath
I may but gasp His Name,
Preach Him to all and cry in death,
“Behold, behold the Lamb!”
The name of Jesus is infintely above every other name. There's no name that can come close, or can ever be on the same plain.
And all will one day confess it as Lord. If we bow the knee now, and turn from ourselves to Him, then when we see Him, it will be more glorious then we could have ever imagined!
If we don't bow the knee now to Him, and at His Cross & empty tomb, then we will bow the knee when He comes, and it will be more painful then anything that we could possibly imagine.
