As much as I\u2019ve shared my love of the many names of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in Scripture, I also love the idea that God knows and calls each of us by name. Today\u2019s song is a great reminder of this idea.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMAG1489\"<\/a>Just think about it. While Jesus was hanging on the cross, what do you think He was thinking about? We know He spoke a few phrases, but what was He thinking? Scripture doesn\u2019t tell us, but what if He was thinking of each one of us? I know there have been other songs with this idea or concept, but these lyrics hit home for me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cMy name upon Your heart, my shame upon Your shoulders.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Think about these lyrics. Think about these words. Think about what these words really mean. Jesus knew you and I would turn away from Him. Jesus knew that throughout our lives we would choose to live in the flesh instead of the spirit. Jesus knew there would be times when we would not follow His commands and guidelines.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And He still went to the cross. He still died for me and you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today as you read through these lyrics and listen to this song, I pray that you will be reminded once again of the majestic wonderfulness of Jesus\u2019 sacrifice for you. I pray that you will be thankful that your name was upon His heart when your shame was upon His shoulders.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I certainly will.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lamb of God\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You came from heaven’s throne<\/p>\n

Acquainted with our sorrow<\/p>\n

To trade the debt we owe<\/p>\n

Your suff’ring for our freedom<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chorus:<\/p>\n

The Lamb of God in my place<\/p>\n

Your blood poured out my sin erased<\/p>\n

It was my death You died I am raised to life<\/p>\n

Hallelujah the Lamb of God<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My name upon Your heart<\/p>\n

My shame upon Your shoulders<\/p>\n

The pow’r of sin undone<\/p>\n

The cross for my salvation<\/p>\n

(Chorus)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is no greater love<\/p>\n

There is no greater love<\/p>\n

The Savior lifted up<\/p>\n

There is no greater love[i]<\/a><\/p>\n
