The Name

“And whoso taketh upon him my name, and endureth to the end, the same shall be saved at the last day.”

Taking on the name of Christ is done not with a label
On your coat or shirt or blouse, or placemats at the table.
No uniform or special hat; no haircut that’s distinct
Can mark a person as with Jesus Christ securely linked.
Lugging scriptures all around and quoting prophets past
Doesn’t make me instantly His partisan steadfast.
Outward signs of fealty are billboards, nothing more --
Only tender heart and mind can prove who I adore.
