Lyrics:

Refrain: By name I call you home to me. By name I call you back to where you long to be. You are mine, you are precious to me. Do not be afraid, I am with you always.

1. Do not let your hearts be troubled. Have faith in God and faith in me. I will go before you to prepare a place just for you. Be still and know I am your God.

2. In my Father's house there are many places for you alone to dwell. I will be there in your sorrow; I'll be here for you tomorrow. I have conquered death, I forgive all sins. I will call you each by name.

Coda: I am the way. I am the truth. I am the life.
