NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES

We offer our worship on altars,

Name, money, power and fame.

The world we live in glorifies sin,

And fanatics kill in God’s name.

Where are the voices raised in outrage,

While the gallant and brave disappear?

We’ve blinded our eyes to victims of vice

We are deaf to their whimpers of fear.

Our vision lackluster, unused thru’ the years,

Our scruples are dull with disuse,

We tear limb from limb the babe in the womb,

Our children we scorn and abuse.

Intolerance, bigotry, prejudice, pride,

Sow discord and make us mere tools,

Of people to whom we have given the power,

To make of us puppets and fools.

Our world can be changed from hatred and rage,

When Christians will boldly proclaim,

That Jesus alone who is Savior and Lord,

Saves all through His glorious Name.
