“say my name”
by jade lundgren
A few words from jade
“Say My Name” speaks to our deepest longing to be seen by God. I’ve heard that everyone’s favorite sound is the sound of their own name, and whether that’s true or not, it resonates deeply with me.
In Isaiah 43:1, God declares, “I have called you by name; you are Mine.” Again In Isaiah 49:16, “I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.” “For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him” (2 Corinthians 16:9). God knows our name. An almost unfathomable truth is that He will also give us a new name, written on a white stone (Revelation 2).
In a world where it’s easy to feel lost, unseen, or overlooked, the Lord Himself sees you. He is the One who created you, and He will never look away. Our desire to be fully seen and loved is met completely in Him.
say my name lyrics
Verse 1
Say My Name
Say it soft
Say it slow
So I don't try to hear it
From anyone
Verse 2
Say My Name
Say it loud
Say it strong
Drown out every sorrow
This heart has known
Pre Chorus 1
It's been so long since I could
Look at your eyes and not feel like
You're miles away
And darling I can tell you're
Wiser now tell me how it got
To be this way
Chorus 1
Can two roads meet again
If they circle and reach out
To find where they first began
Will two birds fly again
After losing the way
And just Barely surviving the storm
I need to hear you say my name
Verse 3
Find my hand In the crowd here below
'Cause only You could find me
And lead me home
Verse 4
Find my hand when it's dark
When it's cold, 'Cause I still know
The feeling: I won't let go.
Pre Chorus 2
It's been so long since I could
Look at your eyes and not feel like
You're miles away
And darling I can tell you're
Wiser now tell me how it got
To be this way
