Calling on the Name (Shorts)

[Verse 1] I built what I could with these hands Called it freedom, called it a plan Every road bent back to me Strong enough not to need I named my days, I marked my ground Learned how not to slow things down Never asked what it might cost Only knew what I hadn’t lost --- [Chorus] I didn’t know what I was throwing away I only knew what I could keep I thought love was something earned Or something I’d outgrow with time But You were there when I wouldn’t see Calling my name before I knew Yours And the ground I tried to outrun Still heard You calling me home --- [Verse 2] I walked east of every promise Built my life on honest pride Kept You somewhere out of sight Never cursed, never blamed There’s blood in the dirt I stand on now Some of it’s mine to own Some choices speak long after We pretend the past is gone --- [Bridge] I don’t get back the years I ran I don’t rewrite what’s been done But I hear Your voice in the quiet now Not asking—open hands --- [Final Chorus] I didn’t know what I was throwing away But I know now what still stands You loved me long before I turned Or tried to understand I don’t know where this road will go But I know now who walks it with me So I’ll say Your name into the dark And let the rest unfold in peace --- [Outro] Just dust and breath And borrowed days Calling on the Name
