Psalm 139 is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible, with its description of how intimately God knows each and every one of us before we’re even born. I don’t know about you, but that just helps prove to me exactly how smart and powerful God really is and how much He really cares.

Our church recognized Sanctity of Life Sunday this week and our youth praise band sang a song that ties in with the theme of God knowing everything about us and loving us anyway. It’s called “He Knows My Name” and is by Tommy Walker. You might have heard it before, but even so, it’s good to read the words and let their meaning sink in.

He Knows My Name, by Tommy Walker

I have a Maker
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in his hands

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call
I have a Father
He calls me His own
He’ll never leave me
No matter where I go

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call

Be blessed as you remember that God really does know your name!
