Ha Shem: Song of The Name

write Your Name upon my heart

as You’ve graven me on your hands

write Your Name upon my heart

but not as on the beach sands

oh, let no wave of doubt ever sweep away

the Name of glorious Love

You write on my heart today

 

put Your Word into my mouth

sear it clean with fiery coal

put Your Word into my mouth

that I may be made truly whole

“of unclean lips am I” as Isaiah did say

until Your Word is in my mouth

as now I will pray

 

with Your Light fill my life

let it shine for all to see

with Your Light fill my life

let others see only You in me

let all my dark of sin be cast far away

keep in Your Light my life

forever there to stay

 

Bread of Life, slake my hunger

spring up in me, o Living Water

Bread of Life, slake my hunger

be my Father and I your daughter

my service and praise at Your feet I’ll lay

but for this Bread of Life, Your gift

I can never repay

 

upon Your Way lead my feet

let them not be tempted aside

upon Your Way lead my feet

for You are my One True Guide

with You beside me I fear neither night nor day

for Your Way is safe and good

if I never stray

 

score Your Truth into my mind

that it may also pour from my lips

score Your Truth into my mind

so my faith’s foundation never slips

and on this solid rock I’ll stand firm in the spray

of foolish thoughts and plans

made by those who’ve lost their way

 

flood Your Life into my soul

that I may serve you more

flood Your Life into my soul

in a roaring downpour

so that You are all I am today

as You always will be

and You were yesterday
