Call Your Name

Dan Bremnes

Compositor: Dan Bremnes / Jordan Mohilowski / Benji Cowart

When I first called your name
I was only five
Didn’t know what to say
How to do it right
Just stood there with my eyes closed
That Sunday night

Fast forward, fifteen
Just a rebel child
Church Camp, baptized
By the holy fire
Head down, eyes closed as I walked the aisle
Wouldn’t be the last time

That I called your name
I called your name
‘Cause I’m still a child just reaching out for grace
I called your name
I still call that name
‘Cause sometimes there’s just nothing left to say

Don’t blink, time flies, faster than you think
Woke up, two kids, girl of my dreams
Feels like sometimes we’re holding on for dear life
Between the long days and the short nights
It’s the hard talks and the tears cried
Most days I wonder am I doing this thing right

I called your name
I called your name
‘Cause I’m still a child just reaching out for grace
I called your name (Jesus)
I still call that name (Jesus)
‘Cause sometimes there’s just nothing left to say

The fourteenth, that cold September day
Got the call that I prayed I would never take
Truck ran that red light
Mom, she’s not coming home
Just lay there empty
Never felt so alone

I called your name (Jesus)
I called your name (Jesus)
‘Cause sometimes there’s just nothing left to say
I call your name (Jesus)
Jesus, that name (Jesus)
‘Cause I’m still a child
Just reaching out for grace

I call your name (Jesus)
I call your name (Jesus)
‘Cause I’m still a child
Just reaching out for grace
