When I called your Name
You answered
When I called your Name
When I called your Name
You answered
When I Called Your Name

When I was in some dark holl'r
When I was Alone
When I was in some dark Holl'r
I cried out to take me home

Spoils and riches
they have found me
they have left me cold
Sweet and comfort
they have bound me
drawn mine eyes from
my faith of old

When I call you name
now darkness
When I call your name
now echos
cavern walls now dank and shame

Take my hand your child
is calling
Take me by my wrist
Yours is pierced with grace and mercy
beauty crush my heart and fist

When I called your Name
You answered
When I called your Name
When I called your Name
You answered
When I Called Your Name
