Naming Names

"The sheep hear His voice: and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.... Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing Him to be the gardener, saith unto Him, Sir, if thou have borne Him hence, tell me where thou hast laid Him, and I will take Him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto Him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master" (John 20:15-16).

Put yourself in Mary's place
When to the empty tomb she came;
As well you should, for it is grace
That calls you also by your name.

Is this hard for you to do,
Assuming that it's not the same,
Seeming too good to be true
That Jesus calls you by your name?

Then hear again your Shepherd's voice
Who calls and leads His sheep by name;
Then let your heart in Him rejoice
Whose blood has washed away your shame.

Mary, David, Cindy, Frank;
Yes, the names go on and on.
Hear your name, return, and thank
The Lord of Richard, Lisa, John.

Have you heard your name today
When you spoke to God in prayer?
If you listen when you pray,
You will hear it then and there.
