Nichole Nordeman - Name lyrics

You woke up one day in a bad way With a dark heart in a small cave And decided to hide For the long bitter night But one day someone loved you Let the light in, made the old new From the water and mud wrote you new name in love Now something about it just doesn't seem real Sometimes that's just how it feels You are still a promise Heartbeat of god You may have forgotten But he has not, You are not your ashes You are a flame Do not ask the shadows The light of the world knows Knows your name There was one day, you were certain That he called you, 'cause you heard him, And the crowed disappeared, Everything crystal clear But then one day it was not so Other voices you didn't know From the frey and the fringe they were all weighing in Now you can't remember who has your heart Well here's a start You are still a promise, heartbeat of god, You may have forgotten but he has not You are not your ashes, you are a flame Do not ask the shadows the light of the world knows Your a friend of god, god the son Blameless and forgiven one The slave no more, finally free Sins and errors are now redeemed Oh beautiful and broken heart Is safe and sound in his arms You were chosen you were his So remember this You are still a promise You may have forgotten You are not your ashes, you are a flame Do not ask shadows the light of the world knows Knows your name He knows your name You are not your ashes, you are a flame Do not ask the shadows the light of the world knows Knows your name
