Whisper Your Name
The Starlite Singers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Bout better days a comin'.
Why was I hummin',
As if I knew,
One and the same?
But I just whispered your name.
Somebody was sayin' something,
'Bout there being an end to tyranny.
What would I do,
If that day came,
I only whispered your name.
Everyone got their own opinion,
And protects their own dominion.
No doubt, for them, it's true.
But I tell them what I really believe;
My only worry is protecting you.
No one should ever be lonely.
We'd all find somebody to care.
Ask me if I dare.
To answer who
Could carry that flame,
I'd just whisper your name.

Menção do Seu Nome...
Você está aqui com a graça do Salvador
Com o coração do Pai
Você é tudo o que precisamos
Você está aqui com as mãos do curador
Com o poder de Seu Espírito
Você é tudo o que precisamos
Na menção do seu nome
Toda cadeia vai quebrar
Eu sei que tudo vai mudar
Jesus, apenas o sussurro do seu nome
Silenciará o vento e as ondas
Na menção do seu nome
Você está aqui, Você é o Provedor
Tudo o que eu já precisei
Jesus, você fornece
Você está aqui, com poder de trabalho maravilhoso
Tudo o que você respira
Voltando à vida
Você é minha força
Você é minha âncora
E você nunca falha
Você é minha esperança
Você entregará
Emmanuel
Na menção do seu nome
Toda cadeia vai quebrar
Eu sei que tudo vai mudar
Jesus, apenas o sussurro do seu nome
Silenciará o vento e as ondas
Na menção do seu nome
Apenas a menção, Oh
Apenas o sussurro, Oh
Você está a apenas um respiro
Você está a apenas um respiro
