Lyrics
By Name
I know a man
Who bought into the lies,
He flirted with sin,
Tried so many highs
Before he finally learnd
He couldn't survive
Gave it all up to You
And You brought him life.
And he sings of mercy,
He sings of grace,
He sings of forgiveness,
He sings of change.
I know a girl
Who'd been through so much pain,
Taken so much abuse,
Lived with so much shame,
She kept all of her secrets
Locked safely away
'Til she poured out her heart
And she called on Your name.
And she sings of healing,
She sings of love
She sings of knowing
You're more than enough.
I've been through things before,
I'll go through things again,
I will trust that the hurt
Will bring a better end,
For I've seen for myself
That You have a plan,
That You will bring me through,
Hold me in Your hand.
And I sing of learning
I'm not in control,
I sing of Your faithfulness,
So constant and sure.
If we keep singing,
Maybe someday
The sharing of truth
Will help us see Your face,
Sing Your praise,
Call You by name.
