HIS NAME IS LOVE

(written by Kenneth Cope)

 

My name is Ego—I desire to be admired

And the center of attention

My name is Pride—it’s true my thoughts and ways are higher

Every rule needs an exception

 

He leaves the fold to find me

His touch reclaims, reminds me

His face is hope, His name is Love

 

My name’s Impatience—I’ve got better things to wait on

Can’t it just work out the first time?

My name is Anger—all this bottled-up frustration

Shows in outbursts of the worse kind

 

He leaves the fold to find me

His touch reclaims, reminds me

His face is hope, His name is Love

 

He’s writing His name on my heart

Working the change from the inside

Pouring out grace from the start

With nothing but love

 

My name is Condemnation—I’ve got two eyes that watch for fault

And ears to catch you

My name is Rumor—I’ve a tongue that runs to mischief

And a heart that sees right past you

 

He leaves the fold to find me

His touch reclaims, reminds me

His face is hope, His name is Love

 

He’s writing His name on my heart

Working the change from the inside

Pouring out grace from the start

With nothing but love

 

My name’s Forgetful—I get panicked in the moment

Though His love’s come to astound me

My name’s Unsteady—seems I’m almost touching heaven

Or sin is crashing down around me

 

He leaves the fold to find me

His touch reclaims, reminds me

His face is hope, His name is Love

 

Oh, Lord, don’t fail to find me

Reclaim, reform, refine me

Till my face is hope, and my name is Love

 

My name is Weakness—my name is Fallen

His name is Jesus

His name is Love
