You Called Me By Name Lyrics
Verse 1
When I consider the work of your fingers
The sun and the stars, the land and the sea
I start to wonder, Almighty creator
Just why you would ever take thought of me
Chorus
Yet you have called me by name
You are acquainted with all of my ways
Bought by your blood, drawn by your love
I am your dwelling place
For you have called me your friend
Showing me favor again and again
I′m set apart, dear to your heart
You called me by name
Verse 2
All of creation was made of your pleasure
The sun and the stars, the land and the sea
But by your grace you have given me a favor
With you I will reign for eternity
Chorus
For you have called me by name
You are acquainted with all of my ways
Bought by your blood, drawn by your love
I am your dwelling place
For you have called me your friend
Showing me favor again and again
I′m set apart, dear to your heart
You called me by name
Bought by your blood, drawn by your love
I am your dwelling place
For you have called me your friend
Showing me favor again and again
I′m set apart, dear to your heart
You called me by name
I′m set apart, dear to your heart
You called me by name
Notes
The hymn You Called Me By Name is a powerful reflection on God’s deep love, personal connection, and divine calling for every believer. For a Christian, it expresses awe at God’s majesty in creation and gratitude for His intimate relationship with His people.
The first verse acknowledges the grandeur of God’s creation—the sun, stars, land, and sea—and marvels at the idea that such an Almighty Creator would personally care for an individual. This mirrors Psalm 8:3-4, which asks, “What is man that You are mindful of him?”
The chorus highlights the personal nature of God’s relationship with His people. He calls them by name, knows their ways, and offers redemption through His blood. This echoes Isaiah 43:1, where God says, “I have called you by name; you are mine.”
The second verse emphasizes God’s grace in setting believers apart for eternity, reaffirming their special place in His heart.
Ultimately, this hymn reassures Christians of God’s personal love, favor, and calling, reminding them that they are cherished, redeemed, and destined to reign with Him.
