He Called Me By Name

 

"He called me by name"

From the time of my birth,

Before I had met Him,

And valued His worth.

And because He was God,

He was able to see

That I had to have someone

To watch over me.

 

So He picked out an angel,

My own special one,

To guide and protect me,

'Till living was done.

Who had but one job,

And that was to be

A loving a loyal

Companion to me.

 

"He called me by name"

And the love in His eyes,

Promised me all

That this cold world denies.

A home with Him always,

In Heaven above,

Safe in the Kingdom

of God's endless love.

I will give you treasures out of

the darkness and hidden riches

that you may know that I am

the Lord, the God of Israel,

who calls you by name.

Isaiah 45:3
