By Name - Micah Tyler

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
