By Name

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
