He Knows my Name

Posted on by Marla
I can’t read the name of the artist.
Sleeping quietly in the sheep pen, with others at my side
I hear him calling, intently…
Jonny, Susie, Mary; Bella, Bubba and Clyde
It’s time to rise and shine…
He knows our names, for he named us,
There is even little Gus…
But when he calls my, name, my heart begins to pant
I lift my head and follow, there is no one to say I can’t
I know him by the sound of his voice
My shepherd, my comfort, my guide…
Living in assurance with him is where I’ll abide
He knows my name and calls me,
No strangers voice will do
Come morning, noon, and evening too
It’s feeding time, so we graze, upon the due
Storms may rise and enemies try
To destroy us on every turn
But when He calls my name
I surrender all and follow, his voice is always the same
I never have to wonder, be frightened or afraid
The voice of the Shepherd alerts me to be brave
He knows my name for he named me
Seritzah, come with me now
Immediately I follow,
And that’s how, I will forever remain…
Treasured of the LORD MOST HIGH
And there, forever, abide!

The name Seritzah is a name the Holy Spirit gave me years ago, it means treasure! You won’t find it on Google because it was given by the Holy Spirit it is my heavenly name.
Thank you Martha Jane Orlando for inspiring me to write this poem. You can find her on:

John 10 The Message (MSG) He Calls His Sheep by Name
10 1-5 “Let me set this before you as plainly as I can. If a person climbs over or through the fence of a sheep pen instead of going through the gate, you know he’s up to no good—a sheep rustler! The shepherd walks right up to the gate. The gatekeeper opens the gate to him and the sheep recognize his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he gets them all out, he leads them and they follow because they are familiar with his voice. They won’t follow a stranger’s voice but will scatter because they aren’t used to the sound of it.”

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
