Jesus Your Name Is Like Honey

Jesus—your name is like honey 
on my tongue,
My soul soaks in your love—
like a dry sponge.

My spirit will continue to hunger
 and thirst,
Until I let you reign in my life—
always first!

I confess you as Lord—
on my knees I yield,
For you are my rock, my fortress
 and my shield.

You’re my protection—
a sure foundation,
For only in you is there 
TRUE salvation!
