Name - Nichole Nordeman

You woke up one day in a bad way

With a dark heart in a small cave

And decided to hide

For the long bitter night

But one day someone loved you

Let the light in, made the old new

From some water and mud

Wrote you new name in blood

But now something about it, just doesn’t seem real

Sometimes that’s how it feels

You are still a promise, the heartbeat of God

You may have forgotten but He has not

You are not your ashes, you are a flame

Do not ask the shadows, the light of the world knows

Knows your name

There was one day, you were certain

That He called you 'cause you heard Him

And the clouds disappeared

Everything crystal clear

But then one day, it was not so

Other voices you did not know

From the fray and the fringe

They were all weighing in

And now you can’t remember who has your heart

Well here’s a start

You are still a promise, the heartbeat of God

You may have forgotten but He has not

You are not your ashes, you are a flame

Do not ask the shadows, the light of the world knows…

You’re a friend of God, daughter, son

Blameless and forgiven one

You’re a slave no more, finally free

Saints and heirs, now redeemed

Your beautiful and broken heart

Is safe and sound in His arms

You are chosen, you are His

So remember this

You are still a promise

You may have forgotten

You are not your ashes, you are a flame

Do not ask the shadows, the light of the world knows

Knows your name

He knows your name

You are not your ashes, you are a flame

Do not ask the shadows, the light of the world knows

Knows your name
