Making a Good Name With God

(Ecclesiastes 7:1)

1. For God’s approval

With all our hearts we yearn.

Always to please him

Will be our main concern.

To him a name that’s good,

As we have understood,

We can be making;

And this we should.

2. Through words and actions,

A name we will acquire.

And this we’re making,

For it’s our heart’s desire.

If we to God incline,

We’ll make a name that’s fine,

And for his blessings,

We’ll be in line.

3. A name we’re making

By giving God due heed.

Yes, while we’re living,

This is our vital need.

If we his Word defend

And all our efforts bend

To glorify him,

He’ll be our Friend.

4. The days are wicked,

And steps we all must take

A very good name

With Jah, our God, to make.

May we do what is right,

Walk ever in the light,

And preach the Kingdom

With all our might.
