These Names of Jesus

And Jesus shall be called

After all His roles we trust!

As we emulate Him

We takes these names upon us!

We learn of and admire Him

For being truths for the World

And all the ways He taught them...

We feel blessed to live His words!

Of all the names of Jesus

I offer Him one, myself!

Because I feel Him near, thus

I call Him, "Friend" above the rest!

We had stake conference today. The sister next to me took my teared up eyes to the next level. Tissues!

 I have never counted all the names for Jesus, but He has a framed list of 99. He added that he  would, personally, like to add "friend". How true!
