It is granted authority,
A burden of great power:
A grave responsibility.
It’s much more than ending a prayer,
An oft-spoken punctuation;
More than a formula…or
Pers’nal identification.
An extension of His presence,
An ambass’dor: “Excellency.”
You are adopted, a child
Now trusted with King’s signet, see?
He lived—perfectly innocent—
And then He bled and died for us;
He set all that aside and
Arose, stood back up for us.
Now, “I am standing in for Him”
—It’s a very bold thing to claim,
But this is what He promised
When He bequeathed His holy name.
