Call My Name (Live)

I am hurting

And this smile on my face

Has taken more than I thought

I could ever muster

After crying myself to sleep the night before

Because the steps that I take

From the bedroom to the bathroom

Are tricky enough to whisper thank you

When I don’t fall down on the floor

People say they love me

And tell me that they care

But I feel alone with this pain

And it doesn’t seem fair

Maybe this Sunday You can

Call my name to heaven

And I need You to say it loud

Like the time my hip hurt enough to cuss

When I wanted to stand and shout

I need You to call my name to heaven

If I happen to cross Your mind

Because I still believe

But I’m having a hard time

And I am angry because

These clothes on my back

Were the best fit I could find

The doctors said my treatment was the best

But my body says that’s a lie

Or maybe I heard what I wanted to hear

Got confused my pain and fear

Left me desperate and longing for better days

And this is not what I had in mind

I know people love me

And show me that they care

But I feel alone with this pain

And it doesn’t seem fair

Maybe this Sunday You can

Call my name to heaven

And I need You to say it loud

Because I’m starting to weep at the wrong time

Like when the visitors are announced

I need You to call my name to heaven

If I happen to cross Your mind

Because I still believe

But it’s hard this time

To be clear I did not mean

To make this moment about me

And my concerns

I should not complain

I lived and I learned

Everyone has

A cross to bear

And this is mine

It’s heavy on me

Comfort is hard to find

Maybe this Sunday You can

Call my name to heaven

And I need You to say it loud

In case anyone is wondering

Why I have not been around

I need You to call my name to heaven

If I happen to cross Your mind

Because I still believe

But it’s hard this time

Call my name to heaven

And I need You to say it loud

In case anyone is wondering

Why I have not been around

I need You to call my name to heaven

If I happen to cross Your mind

Because I still believe

God is a healer

‘Cause I still believe

I can be made whole

Because I still believe

God is a healer

I still believe

I can be made whole

I still believe

Prayer changes things

I still believe

I need You to call my name, call my name

Call my name to heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven

I think my help is coming now and I need You

Don’t pass me by, don’t pass me by

I still believe heaven can hear me

‘Cause I still believe

I can be made whole, be made whole

And I need You to

Heaven can heal me

If heaven can hear me

Yes I still believe

I need heaven to call me right now

Call my name

I need, I need, I need You

To call my name, call my name
