WHEN HEAVEN KNOWS MY NAME [Intro – soft, warm, distant male harmonies] Mhmmmm… Ahhhhhhh… Somewhere beyond all the noise… there is a voice that still knows my name. [Verse 1] I have walked through days of questions, through nights I couldn't understand. I have held on to things that hurt me, just because I feared an empty hand. But every time I lost direction, something quiet pulled me through. Like a light behind the distance… like my soul still knew the way to You. Mhmmmm… [Pre-Chorus – gently rising] Maybe I was never lost. Maybe I was only too far inside the noise to hear You whisper… “Come closer.” [brief silence] “I'm still here.” [Chorus – opens wide, magical] When Heaven knows my name… [MALE CHOIR – warm, wide] …knows your name… I don't have to be afraid. When Your light falls through the darkness… [MALE CHOIR] …through the darkness… something in my soul begins to wake. Ahhhhhhhhh… And I can feel You in the silence, I can hear You through the rain. And suddenly this tired heart remembers— [Music lifts] I was never walking all alone. [MALE CHOIR – full, warm] YOU WERE WITH ME ALL ALONG. [brief silence] Lord… when Heaven knows my name… [MALE CHOIR, floating] …knows your name… …knows your name… I know… I'm home. Ahhhhhhhhhhh… [Verse 2] There were moments I stopped believing that the morning would still come. There were roads that left me wondering who I was and what I'd become. But You never needed perfect answers. You never asked for perfect faith. You just left a little light on… so my heart could find its way. [soft male voices] Mhmmmm… …find its way… [Pre-Chorus] And maybe grace is not a thunder. Maybe grace doesn't need a sound. Maybe grace is simply knowing… when I fall— Your hands are still around me. [Chorus – wider] When Heaven knows my name… [MALE CHOIR] …knows your name… I don't have to be afraid. When Your light falls through the darkness… [MALE CHOIR] …through the darkness… something in my soul begins to wake. Ahhhhhhhhh… And I can feel You in the silence, I can hear You through the rain. And suddenly this tired heart remembers— I was never walking all alone. [MALE CHOIR] YOU WERE WITH ME ALL ALONG. Lord… when Heaven knows my name… [MALE CHOIR] …knows your name… I know… I'm home. [Bridge – everything becomes light and spacious] If I lose my way again… [CHOIR] …we'll call you home… If my heart forgets again… [CHOIR] …we'll call you home… If the world becomes too loud again… [CHOIR – softer] …listen for His voice… [Music almost disappears] And if I have only one prayer left… let it be— [deep lead voice] Lord… don't let me forget that You remember me. [Long silence] [MALE CHOIR – very soft, entering one voice at a time] We remember… You are known… You are held… You are home… Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh… [Final Chorus – luminous, soaring, warm] WHEN HEAVEN KNOWS MY NAME… [MALE CHOIR – wide] …KNOWS YOUR NAME… I DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID. When Your light comes pouring through me… [CHOIR] …let it shine… …let it shine… every sleeping part of my soul comes alive. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… And now I hear You in the silence. I can feel You in every breath. And finally my heart remembers— [brief silence] I was never… [Lead + choir] NEVER WALKING ALONE. [MALE CHOIR – powerful but soft] YOU WERE WITH ME ALL ALONG. YOU WERE WITH ME ALL ALONG. [Music suddenly drops] [deep lead voice] Lord… You know my name. [CHOIR – almost weightless] …we know your name… [Lead] You know my heart. [CHOIR] …we know your heart… [Lead – very tender] And wherever this life may take me… [long pause] I know… where home is. [CHOIR – long, floating] Hooooooome… Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh… [Outro] Mhmmmmmm… You know my name… [faraway choir] …your name… You know my soul… [faraway choir] …your soul… And I know… I'm home. Ahhhhhhh…
