I Call You By Name

I heard this song for the first time today. It was an ‘ah-hah’ moment and I wanted to share it with you. Maybe you are like me and have a past full of junk. Maybe there are old scripts running through your mind that need be erased forever. Maybe you need a new outlook, like I do. This song may help…

By Name

By Micah Tyler 2020

I don’t call you by your darkest secret
I don’t call you by your loneliness
The reasons you hide away from the light
They could never make me love you less

I don’t call you by your broken family
I don’t call you by what you can’t change
The past like a cloud can chase you around
But hear my voice whisper through the rain

I know your story, I wrote every line
Planned every step that you’ll take
Lift up your head and believe what I say
I don’t call you by your guilt or shame

I call you by name
By name

All the voices in your head are lying
They’re saying this is how it’s always gonna be
But they’re all gonna bow at the strong, tender sound
When I tell you who you are to me

I know your story, I wrote every line
Planned every step that you’ll take
Lift up your head and believe what I say
I don’t call you by your guilt or shame

I call you by name

Beloved, forgiven
And bought at a price
My son, my daughter
Forever you’re mine

I don’t call you by your darkest secret
I don’t call you anything but loved

I know your story, I wrote every line
Planned every step that you’ll take
Lift up your head and believe what I say
I don’t call you by your guilt or shame
I don’t call you by your guilt or shame

I call you by name
By name, by name
