Change My Name, Lord

I was listening to music and the first lyrics of this song caught my attention: "I haven't seen the sun in seven days."
It's been seven days.

The song has never meant so much to me. Read the lyrics and take hope. As much as I strive to change myself during this time, I cannot. I must wait, patiently, for Him to change my name.

I haven't seen the sun in seven days

I can't remember when I saw Your face

But I still believe that You led me through the wilderness

And You have not forgotten me through all of this

A million miles have led me to this place

Where all I've ever loved has been erased

Changing my song to a disenchanted lullaby

With a name I never really felt was mine

But I have learned that I can't earn any love You've given

So I'm finding hope in letting go of all that I have made

Because the pain defining me is holding me lifeless

So I am waiting patiently for You to change my name

Open up to my heart's surgery

The waiting rooms of my reality

Where I still believe there's a purpose to this pain inside

And You are not, not leaving me here to die

But formless hope will never know while the storm is raging

So I will strive to stay alive in these waves

Because the pain defining me is holding me lifeless

So I am waiting patiently for You

To change my name
