A Good Name

Verse 1

A good name rings louder than silver,

More than gold you could gather and give her.

Favor's not found in the weight of your pay—

But in walking upright in Yahweh's way.

Eyes low, heart clean, road narrow,

Rich or poor, we meet under His shadow.

The Maker of all sees what we store,

Humility leads where pride won't go before.

Chorus

Riches and honor flow from the fear of Yahweh,

Life everlasting, not just someday.

Oh it's wisdom to walk in His light,

Turn from the left, stay on the right.

Oh-oh, a good name... a good name!

Better than treasures the world proclaims.

Oh-oh, a good name... a good name!

Rooted in reverence, crowned in grace.

Verse 2

Thorns line the path of the prideful and blind,

But those who see truth guard what they find.

He who walks humbly is richly supplied—

Not by the coin, but the King who provides.

Slow steps, sure hands, eyes lifted,

Faithful in little, eternally gifted.

The fear of Yahweh—it carves out the lane,

Where legacy lives in more than a name.

Bridge

Name above rubies, mercy and truth—

Carved on your path from the days of your youth.

Favor can't fake it, gold can't replace it,

Only the fear of Yahweh will shape it! (Yeah!)

Only the fear of Yahweh will shape it!

Final Chorus

Riches and honor flow from the fear of Yahweh,

Life everlasting, not just someday.

Oh-oh, a good name... a good name!

Better than treasures the world proclaims.

Oh-oh, a good name... a good name!

Rooted in reverence, crowned in grace.
