You, I Name


The lady clad in white and holy cloth
Descending forth from her bright home aloft

Where she treads all new life begins
Her purity erases sins

But what now is seen was not true before
The shining lady boundless burdens bore

From shore to shore of vast expanse
She wandered, trapped within a dance

A way of fears and chaos full
She spun and tumbled, ever ill

The wickedness of other men
Ever imprisoned her within

She, the sacrifice, the scapegoat for all
From within eternity heard a call

“Come to me, for I know your name!”
To her side a rescuer came

“To your heart I will speak e’er true and free.
I, the Name-giver, will your savior be”

He endowed her with a banner, her crown
And in his love her purity is found
