My Name Into You

You are one who carries the weight of God
I told you last summer in the coffee shop
You wrote with tears of joy the one thing I wanted you to know
That you are the one who carries the weight of God

Like a battleship rolling into a harbor
The waves of your wake turn over small boats and move mountains
Could you ever wonder how I move the world
Except through you and others like you?

One day, no one will ever contend with you again
The weight of wars fought and women rescued lies in your heart
It is unlike anything the world has ever known
See My heart written in the story of your life

You desire to do good
It is from Me
You carry emotions that level the Earth
It is from Me
You wash others clean with the stroke of forgiveness
It is from Me

Did you know that your mouth is an oracle of God?
Did you know that I sing your praises?
I put my trust in you and you trust me a little more each day
I announce your name to a congregation before Me

Faraway angels travel to see your story unfold
Like a grand opera sung in front of high officials
Your name precedes you in everything you do
Heaven knows the sorts of battles you’ve fought

You desire to do good
It is from Me
You carry emotions that level the Earth
It is from Me
You wash others clean with the stroke of forgiveness
It is from Me

Dear God
How could I ever have known
The types of desires you have for me
To move me and to move others?

Like a battleship rolling into a harbor
I feel the effects of your power within me
Turning small boats over and leveling mountains
I am unable to comprehend the battles in heaven

I desire to do good
It is from You
I carry emotions that level the earth
It is from You
I wash others clean with the stroke of forgiveness
It is from You

May I never leave this place
To stand next to you is to feel the warmth of your face
