YOU CALL ME BY MY NAME,
It’s written on Your hands.
Deep as nail prints in Your palms
And like a seal upon Your heart and arm.
Yet, You are high and exalted
And it’s to You that I must bow.
And I see the man, the Son of God lifted up,
Crowned with glory
For, You are worthy
Of all honour and praise.
This greatest love of all
Is saving me by grace.
And in this grace I am found
And to Your love I am eternally bound
Dave Middleton & Hannah Holland
