By my name, he calls me;
He knows me by my name.
‘Thought he wouldn’t know me
Among the crowd, he knows my name
Not face to face I saw him yet.
When I’m lonely amongst many
Yet he knows me by my name
Never left in the lurch; he knows me
Not a stranger to him
I may not climb the fig tree;
Yet when my heart longs for him
He calls me by my name
Only a sinner being saved
Only his arm I would crave
Never to get lost again
By my name; he knows me
When my pain drag me away
And I lay back in the bay
By my name, he calls me
When tempest toss, I’m losing me
He calls me to rest in him.
By my name, he calls me;
‘Cos I’m from him and of him
He knows me by my name.
####
That day when he calls my name from the roll
‘Cos I’m saved by the blood of his son
He will call me by my name
It’ll be the sweetest voice I’ll hear
I will march to him joyously
Unworthy, yet he knows my name.
