Jesus Is His Name Poem by Loyd C Taylor Sr

A Christmas Poem

In glory land… far, far away,
Way' beyond Jupiter and Mars.
Beyond the gaze of our mortal eye,
Farther than galaxies and stars…

Up yonder in heaven's splendor,
T'was set in motion, mercy's plan.
For God's sweet Son would give His life,
To sacrifice Himself for man.

He would discard his royalty,
Throw off his radiance and fame.
He would come to this sin-cursed earth -
It's because Jesus is His name.

He would be conceived by Mary,
A young virgin so meek and mild.
He would become humanity,
To be born as an earthly child.

He would be laid in a manger,
Angelic voices would proclaim.
Praise to God for this Prince of Peace,
The host of heaven would acclaim!

He would come to his creation,
Then be rejected by the same.
He would become their sacrifice -
It's because Jesus was His name.

He would give himself for sinners,
He would suffer horrible pain.
He would pay the price for man's sin.
He would break sin's powerful domain!

He would die on Calvary's cross,
Suffer humility and shame.
He would complete salvation's plan,
Satan's kingdom, he overcame!

He would be laid in a cold dark tomb,
In three days, his life then reclaim!
He would ascend to His Father -
It's because Jesus was His name.

Now during this Christmas season,
With our voices let us proclaim,
God's great love for the whole world -
It's because Jesus is His name!
