The Name Above Every Name

Home » Love Poems » Poem

“ 9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Phil 2:9-11 NIV

Christ took the nature of a servant
And was created in human likeness.
He humbled himself before all;
His obedience provided our righteousness.
God exalted His humble Son
And gave Him The Name Above Every Name.
At this name every knee will bow,
In heaven and on earth His praise proclaim.

Every tongue will confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord of all.
He glorified the Father above
And harkened death’s necessary call.
He made us children of God;
Changed from slaves to heirs instead.
The Name Above Every Name—
The lamb of sacrifice to wed.

The Name Above Every Name
Is upon the lips of His faithful servants,
Not through force but love alone;
The Holy Spirit's implants.
We should be so grateful,
That Christ died for us to be saved;
That He rose again from death’s pit;
Eternity on our hearts engraved.

The Name Above Every Name
Is to be glorified for all time.
Let’s worship Christ and give him thanks,
For His love so heavenly divine.
Let us shine like stars in the evening sky,
So that all who look up will see,
The Name Above Every Name,
To be worshiped for eternity!
