The Reason for this Rhyme

The reason for this rhyme is more than just 'cause I have time,
To sit and chime all the thoughts in my mind,
Or to sign something that passes the test of time,
But for me to proclaim the glory of His name.
I must be insane to the world,
But I can't be anything but sane to sit here and cry out that Name,
Not just any name but the precious name of the one who gave it all,
So I could crawl to his feet and beg mercy for this sinner,
So I can fall at the foot of the cross where I lost it all and became new again,
I deserve His death,
But I live on in health,
While He took the nail that was made for me,
And felt the whip that hungered for my flesh,
How can I say, "My best is good enough,"
When even the best of the best is not but dirt to Him,
The reason for this rhyme is more than just 'cause I have time,
To sit and chime all the thoughts in my mind,
Or to sign something that passes the test of time,
But for me to proclaim the Glory of His precious Name,
The Name of Jesus.
