He Whispered My Name

I almost gave up,
Then He whispered my name
I almost went off the trail,
Then He whispered my name

I felt unwanted,
I felt unloved,
I felt like I couldn’t go on, 
But then He whispered my name,

He told me “it’s not my time”
He lifted me up,
To face a new day
He took me down to the valley

To show me my strength 
Then I heard his voice
“I knew you could do it”, 
A whispered refrain…

You just got to believe
Just a little faith that is all it takes,
Now even when I’m down in the valley, 

I have reason to smile, because 
Even down in the valley, 
My strength is renewed, 
Shaped into the form, 
He knew I could be, 
He continues to whisper my name…
