JESUS!

Kindergarten children, 1962.
(I'm front row, 3rd from left)

"...God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him, the name which is above every name, so that at the name of JESUS every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that JESUS Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Phil. 2:9-11)

        One very important thing the thousands of children at Church of the Highlands are taught is that the name of JESUS is powerful. When they pray, they don't have to know a lot of fancy words; they can simply call out to JESUS.

       The most powerful prayer anyone can pray is: Please help me, Lord JESUS! 
      Are you in up-to-your-eyeballs trouble today? Cry out to JESUS! And teach your children to do the same!
                                                          

JESUS, JESUS, JESUS
There's just something about that name!
Master, Savior, JESUS
Like the fragrance after the rain.
JESUS, JESUS, JESUS
Let all heaven and earth proclaim
Kings and kingdoms shall all pass away
But there's something about that name! 1
