The Sweetest Name

It was when I fell in love with a name,
sweetest I've ever heard;
T'was honey in my lips,
source of all  favor;
I fell in love with a name,
I fell in love with the owner.


It was when I heard
a whisper so faint;
so far from my ears,
so close to my heart.
How can an inaudible voice bring tears?
How can you hear Him say, "I love you, my child"


That day was the day
I learned how to dance.
Though my knees are shaking,
my soul is singing.
Full of love for the name
whose face I've never seen;
And yet the most beautiful,
the best I've ever dreamed.
