In those final moments before you breathed your last all you heard was spat out at you in hate insults inflicting wounds deeper than the nails that riveted your body to that cross Out of eyes swollen almost shut you saw the ones you’d come to save foaming at the mouth in a rave no time to swallow saliva because the fast paced taunts had no pause your ears filled not only with blood but with curses that lacerated your breaking heart flaying it with ever word how absurd that these humans couldn't see the nature of the One Who could with a WORD make them all cower stripped of their power and He could set Himself free but...it was not to be because of His indescribable love for you... for me... Oh, Jesus! One day Your ears will fill with praises songs of victory dedicated to you pouring from the lips of a very different throng those who to you belong the saved and the strong singing at Your feet lifting Your name high where it was meant to be above all names Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Only you know if I’ll be there if your eyes will fix on mine shining love that's Divine as I sing with the rest a love song to You, Jesus Only by Grace only through You Jesus… “What a beautiful name it is!” Eileen Manassian Inspired by What a Beautiful Name it Is by the group Voice of Lee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiIMtID54K8

I can't think of a more beautiful name or more meaniful way to express in words your love for our Savior. Hugs Rick.

Good to have a visit, Harry. I don't think much would be different. Those who try to live godly and upright lives often go against the grain of those who don't. Thanks for the visit.

Such a beautiful poem of praise, Eileen. You uplifted the name of Jesus Christ w/an able pen. This poem gave me chills and thrills when you depicted the crucifixion and heavenly assembly in fine detail. Special poem and instant fave. Love always.

I'm glad this simple write was a source of blessing, Freddie. I have often wondered what it would be like to be among the saved...seeing him with my own eyes. Bless you for your encouraging words.

Thank you so much, Eve. I know writes about the Lord don't get as many views as they should. It's just that way in life. I appreciate your visit and your love for the Lord which shines in your response. God bless, dear.

A beautiful poem for the most beautiful man born on this planet! Now I need to listen to the video you have shown. Is this for the new contest about Christianity? If so, I think it would be a sure winner.

Loved that first sentence of your reply, Andrea. Yes, He is. Nothing can change that. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever....I didn't know there was a contest up. I haven't joined one in ages. I just recently was asked by Paul to write with him for the collab contest. That's the only one I've joined in many many months. This can to me after having heard this amazing song. Hugs

Thank you, Dean. I've written several spiritual pieces. Unfortunately, those don't get read as much as the other writes. One can only be amazed by the beauty of such a Savior. Hugs

I always have a hard time writing of my love for Jesus because I want to say it perfectly. So deep and wide his love is, so many names, so much to say. I'm singing his praise with you! Lovely Eileen!

Thank you, dear Kim. I understand your need to do Him justice. The good thing is he understands our limitations and finds joy in our babble. :) Remember the verse...."make a joyful NOISE to the Lord". Blessings.
