His Name
Today I simply lay my head down but I could not sleep
Still holding to all the memories that only I will keep
Wishing the day was over and a new day would come
Thinking about all the bad times and wanting to run
As I look out from the window and stare into the streets
I see hundreds of people like me feeling defeat
Were all searching for someone to show us real love
Were not finding it here so we begin to look above
Maybe were all searching for something thats not real
Or could we be confused by what we dont feel
Maybe its someone wholl give us direction
Someone wholl hold us without cruel rejection
Im going to lie down and close my eyes once more
But just as I do I hear someone softly knock at my door
I am expecting no one to visit me here today
So as Im walking to the door Im rehearsing what to say
I hear the knock once more still softly the sound
The knocks not coming from the door but from all around
Like never before Im afraid and Im walking no further
Then I hear a voice to me begin to speak as I turn
As I look for the man whose voice is calling my name
I see him clothed in bright and shining fame
Then I begin to shake and speak with trembling words
Not sure of what I said or if the man has even heard
Then in the presence of the man before whom I stand
He reaches out to me and asks that I take his hand
I look into his eyes and I see a peace so overwhelming
And begin to think to myself, Surly this is the King
At this very moment all my trembling has disappeared
And there is no longer anxiety, pain or fear
He pulls me to himself with strong arms yet hes meek
For he knows Im a fragile man and also very weak
Hes holding me firmly in his arms of love
Finally, someone has found me he gives me a hug
As I look into his eyes hes searching my heart
He speaks to me and says, From you Ill never depart
I speak his name that I have never before spoken
Now realizing that I and my heart are broken
As he gently wipes the tears from my eyes
It is then that I realize I am the one for whom he had died.
If you are still searching, you need search no more
The man I speak of is my God, Lord and Savior
His name is Jesus, he is also the Christ
He is the one that has paid the ultimate price
