When God Whispers Your Name
Walking in the Garden, in the cool of the day;
Hiding from my Saviour for I had gone astray,
But in His grace and mercy, to me my Lord came;
His love broke my resistance when He whispered my name.
I was like a dead man, with no hope left in the world,
Surrounded by my enemies, when all their lies were hurled;
All my defeats and failures, pouring forth my shame,
Then came a new beginning when the Lord called out my name.
Grieving at the gravesite of my dearest in this life;
Overwhelmed with sorrow, discouragement and strife.
Distressed with loss and anguish, heart so filled with pain -
Comfort and healing came when I heard You say my name.
Wandering without a purpose, feeling forsaken too.
Does God in Heaven love you, can you know this love so true?
Jesus proved His love towards us - the answer is so plain:
The Shepherd now is calling, hear Him whispering your name.

1 Kings 19:11-12 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
A still small voice - the definition of still from Complete Word Study Bible Dictionary: “A feminine noun indicating hushed, a whisper. It indicates a soft gentle blowing or whisper in contrast to the roar of an earthquake, fire, or a storm at sea (1 Kings 19:12; Psalm 107:29).”
