There is a name,
An umbrella name,
Unlike any other.
A place of shelter from the storm,
Portable and present
In every place, every time, every age,
Large enough for all,
Personal enough to know it well.
A name full of hope and purpose,
A name which understands
Our sorrow and loss,
An umbrella for comfort
When things become too much.
A covering to cling to,
A refuge for
When the weight of the day
Falls on us,
When life feels awkward
And unwieldy once again.
A banner of compassion,
A name that is higher,
More significant,
More relevant
Than any other.
A name we can cling to,
For strength and courage,
Identity and friendship,
Wherever we go.
Proverbs 18 verse 10
