Did Jesus speak yor name?
Richard Daish 1949 (DocPenfro)
Did Jesus Speak Your Name?
When you were small, a little child
And life was like a game,
You learned of someone kind and mild.
Did Jesus speak your name?
When you were older and more wise
Did you do acts of shame?
When you cheated to gain that prize
Did Jesus speak your name?
When they crowned Him with that thorn
And played their gambling game.
Even though you'd not been born
Did Jesus speak your name?
When He was placed upon that cross
And shouldered all your blame;
When God made that immortal loss
Did Jesus speak your name?
When they pierced Him in His side
And then to mock Him came.
When He prayed before He died
Did Jesus speak your name?
And when He went down into Hell
To fight that bitter flame,
Did He go there for you as well?
Did Jesus speak your name?
Then when you are approaching death,
Scared of what you became,
Will you, with your last dying breath,
Will you speak Jesus' Name?
When you die, laid in the ground
Or committed to the flame,
When you can hear no other sound,
Will Jesus speak your name?
