Jesus' middle name

I've heard tell a tale
that's halfway in my mind
that Jesus had a middle name
both saintly and refined

theologians deliberate on what it was
dispute and turn over and debate
and argue endlessly religious ways
but surmise it may have begun with H

It may have been Hachaliah,
- who waits for the Lord
or maybe Hanameel,
- the grace that comes from God

perhaps Mary gave him Hasadiah,
- the mercy of the Lord
or perchance Joe said call him
Hiddai - a praise; a cry

or another idea of
Heresh - a carpenter
or maybe they decided on
Hosanna - save I pray thee

It may have been lost to
unknown tomes and scriptures
but sometimes it's revealed
and whispered Jesus H. Christ

Lovely explanation ..... H is for hell so it's said, so I'll say:- When you bang your finger in a door you might shout:- Hell .. JESUS CHRIST!! Just a passing thought on the H!
