When I first heard your name I was young and wandering
Through the noisy rhyming scheme
My mind was beginning
My pictures were sure
That I drew in the carpet
The silent times when the dead were moving on
Now I wrote you name down on the stone
And held it high above your throne
I could never lay it down
And I wrote your name with heaven's pen
And gave it to the minds of men
They could talk it
They could talk it loud
Now I write your name down on a river
I write you name down on the ocean
Where your ashes were poured
Where my dreaming had run from me
I write your name down on the river
I write your name down on the sea
Where Jesus walked
Where my sins washed away
In your heart
In your heart
