God Given Name
I remember that special service like it was yesterday,
The table at the alter set up with candles like it was my wedding day,
I had my vows in my pocket ready to give,
Not even knowing what was in store with Him,
I had wrote down every promise, and all He meant to me,
I was ready to surrender everything,
As I lit the candle in my heart I knew,
I married you and sat back down in the pew,
As I placed my vows in my Bible, I opened up to a verse,
That spoke of marriage to the land, and a new name on earth,
It was so private and beautiful I cried,
He changed my name that day just between Him and I,
And no one at that time ever knew, my heart was hidden in you...
And now it's an honor for me to say,
That Hephzibah is my God given name,
