About This Song


I wrote this song a few years back. At the time, I was running my visitation center in Florence, AL. We facilitated visits with foster children and their parents. Needless to say it wasn't always roses and sunshine,(very stressful). One night ,I can remember it just being a terrible day that day. One of the fathers had showed up high on meth and threatened to kill my wife and I. When I got home , I went to my room and hit my knees and started praying. I wasn't trying to write a song at the time, but these words hit me like a ton of bricks. I feel anytime you try to do any good in this world you will be met with the opposite. I hope you enjoy this song and that it moves you like it did me.
I had this song demoed out by Drew Middleton here in Nashville TN.

Intro
Call me by my name
Be still and know I’m God
And never be the same
Call me by my name Casts all your doubts and fears
Close your eyes and know I’m here
V1
You have been broken
You have been worn
Call out to me now
We will walk on this storm
You have been stolen
But I will not scorn
Call out to me now come into my arms
C
Call me by my name
Cast all your doubts and fears
Close your eyes and know I’m here
Call me by my name
Be still and know I’m God
I’ll walk you through the flames
B
You are my Jesus
You are my teacher
You are my home, my blessed redeemer
You are my fortress
You are my heaven
You are my all and my all is forgiven
Out
Call me by my name
Be still and know I’m God
And never be the same
Call me by my name Casts all your doubts and fears
Close your eyes and know I’m here
