These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Good Judgment

To speak the Truth, that's wisely spoke,
I must speak His blest Name.
My own heart's name would just provoke,
and all of grace defame.

This Jesus Christ, the Son of God
has died, and rose again.
The wise ones of the earth applaud
this Greatest of All men.

Messiah is The Chosen One.
The Risen dies no more.
Incarnate is the Only Son,
This virgin womb's decor.

Salvation is in n'other Name.
Forever's King is He.
He, beaten, bore my rancid blame.
His Merits did me free.

The wisdom of my heart is wise
when unswerving speak I Truth.
His Wisdom is without disguise.
Believe I this from youth.

The Father calls men to believe
as summoned to a court. (John 6:44)
Then we must come as this received.
The "rejected not" 's import. (John 6:37)

Good judgment shows in speaking right,
until we breathe our last,
that others may be given Light,
and not to Hell be cast.

Will others e'er believe our words?
Scant few, and that is all.
Salvation's Truth is never blurred.
He saves all hearts, that call. (Romans 10:13)
