it's all in the name

i have heard it from many people that they have to uphold the family name.  they are in fear of wrongdoing, might it hard the family name.  "i have a name to honor!", they say. 

well, i have no such name.  i married into a family that had a name, but then i came.  "WHO is this girl?", they protested.  who am i? 

i was the chief of sinners, a wretch, a nobody by the world's standards.  BECAUSE of HIS blood, i am a new creation, robed in white, forgiven and set free, adopted, HIS child, I bear his HIS name. 

it's all about the blood, really!
