Repeating God's Name
You repeated God’s NameWith the clever tongue
Of your mind.
God was afraid of your dangerous deception;
Therefore
He did not dare to near you,
Let alone bless you.
But now
You repeat God’s Name
With the loving adoration
Of your heart.
Look, God is not only embracing you,
But also claiming you,
You alone, as His very own.
