Most Excellent One

Jesus: The Name above all Names; Whose majesty Exceeds that of any King.  You are The Lord over all things.

You are holy.
Righteous, completely
Good. You are
Truth in its purest form.
I can seek You
And know
I can trust Your words.

You are faithful.
From the beginning
Of my first breaths
To the end of days,
You have not ceased
To fulfill Your declarations.

You seek
That I may know
You are the God who redeems.
Your throne was unapproachable;
Yet You designed a Way
That my sin be cleansed;

My personage covered
By a Holy Crimson
Spilled in my place.
In Your justice,
You pursued me
To repentance
That I may obtain mercy.

My shame has been removed.
Once an enemy,
Now a friend.
My presence once brought
A stench, now it brings
An aroma.
An antagonist, now Your child.
I can come
Before Your presence.
What glory to Your grace!

And the earth cries out
For its Creator:
“All honor to Your Name,
Praise be to Thee!”
Jesus, You are
Our salvation,
Our magnificence,
Our hope and joy.
This day
Until we breathe our last,
We worship You,
Most excellent One!

Selah.
