MY NAME IS WRITTEN ON YOUR HANDS
You’ve called me Your own
You’ve called me Your own
Now I am Yours, no earthly power
Could tear us apart, tear us apart
I’m counting on Your name
I’m counting on Your name
Counting on Your name to save me
I’m trusting You’re the way
I’m trusting You’re the way
Trusting You’re the way my Saviour
My life is built nothing less
Than Your faithfulness
Your faithfulness
Counting on Christ and Christ alone
I’m hoping in You, hoping in You
I believe, I believe
I believe You are the way
Tim Hughes, Nick Herbert & Ben Cantelon
