The Name of the Lord

The Name of the Lord, firm and strong like a tower

Draws multitudes lost, and redeemed are empowered.

This Name is so matchless, it’s found without stain,

Yet the world disregards this and takes it in vain.

This Name above all names, the name of our Lord

Holds life that was purchased through what He endured.

Now saints who for Jesus faithfully labored

Have inscribed on their foreheads the Name of their Savior.

However, beware, for in days soon to come

False prophets will claim that they are God’s Son.

This will mislead and deceive many crowds

While the eyes of God’s people are trained on the clouds.

Those found ashamed of the Son and His Name

Thus before God will the Lord do the same.

If you love Him enough and you know Whom you serve

Then why be ashamed to speak forth His Word?

-- Charity, 15 years old

Scriptural Basis:

The Scriptural basis for my daughter's poem is found in the following verses:

“But these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.” (Joh 20:31)

“This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.” (1Jn 3:23) 

“For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Rom 10:13)

"There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads." (Rev 22:3-4)

"And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."  (Act 4:12) 

"For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many." (Mat 24:5)

I also invite you to read the following two blogs of mine for more about the powerful name of Jesus.  The Name of Jesus and Jesus is Yahweh.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

The Millennium

When the Thousand Years finally comes,
The lion will lie with the lamb.
And into the viper’s nest
Will a young child put their hand.

The snake will not harm or destroy
On all God’s holy Mountain,
For the earth will be full of the knowledge
Of our Lord, bursting forth like a fountain.

Behold, God will make new heavens,
The former things won’t be recalled.
Nor will they ever come to mind.
When this happens, you might be appalled.

Jerusalem will be a delight.
Its inhabitants, such a great joy!
And he who will die at a hundred
Will be thought as merely a boy.

Before people call, God will answer.
While they are still speaking, He’ll hear.
Animals will not harm or destroy
On God’s Mountain, nobody will fear.

Bound up for a thousand years,
In chains will satan be.
No more will the nations be tricked,
Until the devil is set free.

Upon royal thrones will be seated
Those who will be given the power
And authority by God to judge.

Meanwhile, satan will cower.

The ones who bowed down to God only,
Not receiving the mark of the Beast,
Along with the Christians beheaded,
Will be reigning with Christ in peace.

Those who are blessed and holy,
Over them, no power can death gain,
But they will be priests of our Lord.
For a Millennium with Him will they reign.

-- Charity Lacroix, age 14

"Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time. Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years." (Rev 20:1-4)

"And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little boy will lead them. Also the cow and the bear will graze, Their young will lie down together, And the lion will eat straw like the ox. The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper's den. They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea." (Isa 11:6-9)

When I Get to Heaven

When I get to heaven,
After serving the Lord,
This will be my eternal reward:
A golden crown
And a long, white gown.

When I get to heaven,
I will eat of the Tree
That holds all the tasty fruits God made for me;
And I’ll dance and sing
For Jesus my King.

When I get to heaven,
I don’t know what I’ll say,
Yet I’m definitely sure tears will be washed away;
And I’ll live always.
I’ll dance and praise!

When you get to heaven,
What do you think you’ll do?
Think about that for a minute or two...
Your great reward
Is Christ your Lord!

-- Charity Lacroix, age 14

Store Eternal Treasure

 Riches that are of this earth
Eternally, they’re of no worth.
They get destroyed.
So brief is the joy,
When you gain treasure at first.

Jesus said not to store up
Things that decay and that rust,
But to store things above
By living God’s love.
His words are pure truth, so just trust.

Wherever your treasure is stored,
There your heart is, rest assured.
So store way up there,
The place where all share
A heavenly crown and much more.

-- Charity, girl, age 14
