My Name Is Whosoever

 

 

My name is Whosoever

Now tell me, what is yours?

Please don’t get cheeky with me

I am not from the Azores.

 

It is a biblical name

And a very popular one too,

It is found in seventy-one verses

With eighty-four views.

 

Mostly in the New Testament

And found there sixty-two times,

There is no denying I tell you,

I was on God’s mind.

 

It’s an all-embracing name

Yet, it is so very personal

And particularly in John’s Gospel

It means a special people.

 

In the golden text of the Bible

It is the born-again:

A special people as indicated

Over whom the Spirit reigns.

 

It’s the grand word, Whosoever

“Whosoever will may come”,

Whosoever receives Jesus Christ

Will join that heavenly throng.

 

Whosoever drinks of the water

That Jesus the Christ shall give,

That one will never thirst again

And shall eternally live.

 

 

Yes! My name is Whosoever

But let me hasten to qualify

That whosoever comes to Christ

That one he will not deny.

 

Let me draw to your attention

The two families of the Whosoever:

One that is eternally saved

And one that’s currently severed.

 

For whosoever will may come

But some will never accept

And these are of the Whosoever

That Jesus Christ rejects.

 

Come to Christ today

And be a "Whosoever Accept"

For anything short of receiving Christ

Will be a "Whosoever Reject".

 

 

My name is Whosoever:

I am a Whosoever from above,

My name is etched in the Book of life

And I am in the Beloved.
