[ACT 1, setting the scene] [Intro] You are trying to kill me, one who has told you the truth I have heard from God If God were your Father, you would love me. I came to you, sent by God Why do you not understand what I say? You cannot accept my words of God You are from your father the devil, and you do your father’s desires, not God’s Those from God hear God’s word. By this one knows you are not of God I do not have a demon, you dishonor me, but I honor my Father, God [Interlude] The LORD called my name [Chorus] Thank you, oh Lord, for calling my name Life is your word, I’ll never be the same Thank you, oh Lord, for changing my game So till all have heard, I’ll declare your name [Hook] You called my name So I give you praise You called my name So I follow your ways You called my name [ACT 2 - The defense] [Verse, rapped] This is for your benefit, not mine, I’ve tasted of God’s miraculous wine Pearls came my way for a time, believed my sinfulness made me swine Said I got peace, ain’t no crime, you called me weak, without a spine Called me a demon, not divine, only after I plugged myself into the vine In this narrative, it’s light’s shine, yes in repentance, God has redefined At his feet is the true design, now that’s me yet you call me unaligned [Interlude] The LORD called my name [Verse 2, rapped] You’ve focused on rules, and on requirements, and on early retirements Viper broods you fools, check your fires’ contents, even more your aspirements Many thoughts of schools, making refinements, or else evil’s implements My education was fuel, but only was elements, my faith was fulfillment Have you asked how you’ll, manage your treatments, of others and commitments I studied, used your tools, and in God-moments, I made my agreements [Chorus] Thank you, oh Lord, for calling my name Life is your word, I’ll never be the same Thank you, oh Lord, for changing my game So till all have heard, I’ll declare your name [Hook] You called my name So I give you praise You called my name So I follow your ways You called my name [ACT 3 - The victory] [Verse 3, rapped] I understand the fear of abusing the Scripture, after all it’s divinely inspired The value of making it plain, it’s easy to picture, stoking your own holy fire I asked questions, would you believe what I found at the throne of our sire Truth as my bastion, what we have to read made at hands of those hired Nuance of language, translation, and context, and of how we have all been wired What makes you think you’re not under a hex, the evil you love, things you require [Interlude] The LORD called my name [Chorus] Thank you, oh Lord, for calling my name Life is your word, I’ll never be the same Thank you, oh Lord, for changing my game So till all have heard, I’ll declare your name [Climax] Instead of blaming you, while I yet grieve, I trust God is ruler of all Unsure what I ought do, I did believe, submission to God is my call The only one, whom, I’ll never leave, unseparated by erected walls Walk with holy plume, I don’t deeeve-eeee-ate, I stall when he stalls The maker my groom, what he named me, a new name just like Paul For me he made room, made me to be, it’s on him I now stand tall [Hook] You called my name So I give you praise You called my name So I follow your ways You called my name [Hook] You called my name So I give you praise You called my name So I follow your ways You called my name [Post-Hook] The LORD called my name The LORD called my name The LORD called my name The LORD called my name The LORD called my name [Outro, Spoken word] Shout for joy, O barren one who has borne no children Be unafraid and unashamed, full of courage You will forget your shame and disgrace Your maker is your husband The LORD of hosts is his name The LORD has called you Like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit Like the wife of a man’s youth when she is cast off For a brief moment I abandoned you But with great compassion I will gather you Says the LORD, your Redeemer
