Cry the Name Songtext
von Rich Mullins

"I cannot hide this longing that grows
In this temple of silence and stars
But a thief in the night stole in and broke
Every chain that had bound up my heart
I cannot cling to shadows again
So here on this altar tonight
I lay every dream I′ve ever dreamt
To burn in the fire He lights

I cry the Name of the One who loves me
The Name of the One on whom I call
'Til it roars like thunder
Rolling down these canyon walls

I cry the Name of the One who loves me
The Name of the One on whom I call
′Til it roars like thunder
Rolling down these canyon walls


Every breath I've ever breathed
Was sent as a gift from on high
And with all that is left of all that is me
Up to the Heavens I cry

The Name of the One who loves me
The Name of the One on whom I call
'Til it roars like thunder
Rolling down these canyon walls

I cry the Name of the One who loves me
The Name of the One on whom I call
′Til it roars like thunder
Rolling down these canyon walls

The Name of the One who loves me
Name of the One on whom I call
′Til it roars like thunder
Rolling down these canyon walls

I cry the Name of the One who loves me
The Name of the One on whom I call
Down these canyon walls

I cry out Your name
I cry Your name out
'Til it roars like thunder
Rolling down these canyon walls


The Name of the One on whom I call
′Til it roars like thunder
Rolling down these canyon walls
Down these canyon walls"
