He Knows My Name
Tommy Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in His hands
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
Lets all sing, I have a Father
I have a Father
He calls me His own
He'll never leave me
No matter where I go
He knows my name
I'm so glad I can say
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I call
He knows me, He knows my name
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I call
He knows your name
He knows your every thought
He sees all those tears that fall
And He'll hear you when you call
The opening lines of Tommy Walker's song, He Knows My Name, express the faith and trust that the singer has in his Maker. The lyrics suggest the belief that the singer's heart and life were formed by a higher power, even before time began, and that this power has his life's trajectory in its hands.
The chorus of the song, He Knows My Name, goes on to reinforce the singer's belief that his Maker has a personal connection with him. The lyrics assert that the Maker knows the singer's name, every thought that he has, every tear that he sheds, and hears him when he calls. The singer goes on to invite his listeners to join in and declare that they also have a Father who calls them his own and would never leave them, no matter where they go.
The intended meaning behind He Knows My Name is that the Maker of the universe knows each of us and has a plan for our lives. The song aims to inspire faith and trust in listeners, encouraging them to take comfort in the belief that they are never alone, even when they face difficult times.

Twenty-six years later, this song is just as amazingly powerful and encouraging as when you wrote it, Tommy. A great re-mix. Thank you. And thanks to Gert van der Vijer for his exquisitely creative art.
