My Name
I searched the depths within my soul
Unworthiness there loomed
The din of burdened days foretold
A life of torture doomed
Whence through the fog of bitter tears
Came forth a whispered name
Then straining all my might to hear
A voice to pierce my shame
Above the shrill of yester’s pain
The whisper yet grew clear
When as one washed in gentle rain
I felt my Lord draw near
My name He spoke repeatedly
In tones I’d never heard
At once a beckon “come to Me”
Consuming love His Word
Within the view of One so pure
My demons bid take flight
Yet drawn to stay by Mercy’s lure
I knelt within His sight
Relentless Lord who calls to me
With gaze of brilliant light
My every weakness His to see
And yet His love burns bright
The shadows cast by struggles past
Once lumined by the Son
Reveal a treasure unsurpassed
Redemption for me won
Amidst the echoes of dark days
No more shall I abide
Instead I’ll listen for my name
From Him who for me died
