Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My Friend, my King
You see the waves surrounding me
I'll fix my eyes upon You
And though my sorrows roll
Like thunder through my soul
I'll set my heart upon You

Call Your name i believe that You hear me
You're near me sorrows fly, shadows flee
At Your coming you can do anything
When I call Your name

Then come what may
I know Your blood will make a way
I'll throw my arms around You

Call Your name i believe that You hear me
You're near me sorrows fly, shadows flee
At Your coming you can do anything
When I call Your name let's call His name

When I call jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Call Your name i believe that You hear me
You're near me sorrows fly, shadows flee
At Your coming you can do anything
Call Your name i believe that You hear me
You're near me sorrows fly, shadows flee




At Your coming you can do anything
When I call Your name when I call Your name
