HOLY IS HIS NAME

Many are the names of God
all Holy, Perfect, True,
and spoken with the voice of love
brings graces down on you.

When used in vain and spoken
in malice, wrath and oaths,
never having any real intention
to keep the promise that they boast.

It’s a sin against His Holy Name
to make Him witness to a lie,
and if left to mar our darkened soul
it will soon begin to die.

We need not swear upon His name
we need not swear at all,
when you say ‘yes’ then mean it
when it’s ‘no’, say no, that’s all.

Lord, put a seal upon our tongues
may we never speak in vain,
Your name so pure and holy
that brings You searing pain.

We pray and sing and praise oh God
Your attributes to the sky,
and give You glory, laud and honour
to The God of Love most high.
