Poem Title:
Poem
(From the musical "On Eagles' Wings." This song was written with my sister Faith Alexis.) No, He cannot think I would deserve To have His eye upon me Why would He stoop down to hear our cry And see our constant suffering? Why would He desire to know Our griefs and sorrows as His own? My fathers long ago were free But freedom I have never known I’ve never had this feeling that I see Is growing deep inside me How can I imagine that this world Will grow more sweet and lovely? Must the foreman whip my back To keep me from this futile dream? For I know life could never be As promising as it may seem Yet Someone knows my name And it gives me strength to stand It gives me reason to lift my head And gives me cause to hope Yes, Someone knows my name It gives me reason to live It gives me strength to face each day And gives me strength to sing Though I feel like giving up And losing heart like many others I will not forget all Moses said And all the signs and wonders It might be that Yehovah still Will not forget His solemn vow Could it be that there is light Behind the storm clouds I see now Someone knows my name And it gives me strength to stand It gives me reason to lift my head And gives me cause to hope Yes, Someone knows my name It gives me reason to live It gives me strength to face each day And gives me strength to sing He’s raising up a house for me A legacy among His nation This child of mine is His, as are the souls In every generation Abraham beheld the sky And I, like him, will now believe The One Who names the stars Is raising up a household for Yariv Someone knows my name And it gives me strength to stand It gives me reason to lift my head And gives me cause to hope Yes, Someone knows my name It gives me reason to live It gives me strength to face each day And gives me strength to sing Yes, Someone knows my name
