In the name of Jesus
So that’s the name you’re gonna use?
The name supreme in all heaven and earth and below the earth
The name that creates, saves and redeems
The name that resuscitated me from a death beyond this flesh
Not only me, but it saved millions in the years to come
A name with such majesty and power
That at its mention even angels bow.
The name that holds the earth round
The father’s right hand who became a man
The embodiment of love and perfection and all that is good and sovereign and just and worthy of all praise.

That’s the name you gonna use for all your depraved desires?
To justify your earthly lusts? C’mon man, that’s just sick.
But hey, by his stripes you are healed.
To claim that you can have it all now because his blood shed
And that through his name I can have whatever I say.
I’m sorry, I don’t get it…and if you quote John’s “ask whatever you wish”, I might go crazy
Tell me, who do you think you are to dictate to the most high, clapping your hands, with your mouth shouting thank you Jesus, with your heart shouting ‘pronto, pronto, I ain’t got all day!’
And yes, I know only God can judge you, but is that really what you’re hoping for?
First John says to test every spirit, but are you testing your own?
It says to test every spirit, but am I testing my own….

Who am I to call out unsavory behavior?
Salt of the earth how?, when wrath and rage
Salt of the earth how?, when bitterness

As I lay to rest I can’t help but wonder, am I doing my best
Do I mean the Lord’s prayer as I say let your will be done?
Or do I make myself the subject, using ‘your’ as a more Christian way to say mine…
So, in essence, I just want that matte black super sports car, for your glory…
I shudder to think what would become of me if one of these days I said let your kingdom come, and it really did.
Is it really my heart’s desire or is it just another line I have to get through to get to amen?
Speaking ‘give us this day our daily bread’, while thinking of the many ways I’d enjoy the whole bakery
Ignoring the fact that one of the seven deadly sins is gluttony.
Forgive, oh lord my trespasses, for I have lied so many times in the claim that I forgive those who trespass against me.


My hypocrisy disgusts me, see youthful passions drive me,
What I wanna do, I don’t do, what I don’t wanna do, I do
And all this turns my stomach, so I *****
And before I know it, the dog in me is back at it eating it.
Using this expression makes gag, but it’s the reality of who I am.

Yes, he is a graceful and merciful father, but he’s also a judge.
The judge from whose mouth comes a double-edged sword and whose face shines brighter than the sun in its full strength.
Who will judge me also for the words I speak.
So, with reverence, fear and trembling, In Jesus name I ask that the Lord fix me.
