The Only Name

Lately, this new song by Big Daddy Weave has caught my ear, heart, and mind.  I mean, really, listen to (or read) these lyrics:

"The Only Name (Yours Will Be)"

Yours will be the only Name that matters to me

The only One Whose favor I seek

The only Name that matters to me

Yours will be

The friendship and affection I need

To feel my Father smiling on me

The only Name that matters to me

Yours is the Name the Name that has saved me

Mercy and grace the power that forgave me

And Your love is all I’ve ever needed

When I wake up in the Land of Glory

And with the saints I will tell my story

There will be one Name that I proclaim

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, just that Name

Jesus... I love, Love, LOVE, my family...  I adore my husband, all of children, and all our grandbabies that God has blessed us with but, when all is said and done, the only name that should matter to any of us is Jesus.  His is the only favor we should be seeking.  His affection and smile are the only one we need.  And although those are powerful lines... the chorus is what really grabs me...

When I wake up in the Land of Glory and with the saints I will tell my story... wow!  One day, I will open my eyes and I'll see my loved ones and most of my friends, that will be fantastic... but just think, we'll see Moses, Abraham, Stephen, Paul, Peter, Mary, and Martha, Isaiah, Daniel, David... and, of course, Jesus!  Wow... the stories that will be shared, it will be aMAZing!  

Thank you, Lord, for this blessed assurance that one day, I will wake up in the land of glory and one day I will see your smiling face.
