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
