Jesus Knows My Name

TITLE: Jesus Knows My Name
ARTIST: THE NAZARENE
STYLE: Afrofuturistic Children’s Gospel Choir / Resurrection Joy Music

[INTRO]
Soft piano like morning light,
Rainbow synths in the sky so bright,
Little hands clap, little feet move,
Jesus is here, He is good, He is true.

Children sing, “La-la-la, He knows me,”
Choir sings, “La-la-la, He holds me,”
Heaven smiles over every street,
Grace is dancing under our feet.

[VERSE 1]
Sometimes I feel small in a very big place,
Like nobody sees my worried face,
School bell rings and the playground spins,
Everybody’s loud and I’m quiet within.

Sometimes I stand at the edge of the game,
Wondering if anyone remembers my name,
But Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice,”
And when He calls me, my heart can rejoice.

He knows when I’m brave,
He knows when I’m shy,
He sees every tear
That hides in my eye.

He knows when I stumble,
He knows when I try,
He lifts up my head
Like the sunrise sky.

He is the Shepherd with mercy in His hands,
Leading little feet through the wilderness lands,
Over the hills where the wild winds blow,
Jesus walks with me wherever I go.

[CHILDREN’S HOOK]
Jesus knows my name,
Jesus knows my heart,
When I feel lost,
He knows where I am.

Jesus holds my hand,
Jesus leads the way,
I am safe with the Shepherd,
I can trust Him today.

He found me, He loved me,
He carried me home,
I’m never forgotten,
I’m never alone.

Jesus knows my name,
Jesus knows my heart,
He is my Shepherd,
He loved me from the start.

[VERSE 2]
Sometimes at night when the shadows grow tall,
I hear little worries tapping the wall,
What if tomorrow feels too hard for me?
What if I’m not who I’m meant to be?

Then I remember Psalm twenty-three,
“The Lord is my Shepherd,” watching over me,
Green pastures glowing with heavenly light,
Still waters shining in the quiet night.

He makes my heart lie down and rest,
Like a bird in a warm little nest,
He sings through the dark, “Child, do not fear,
I am your Saviour, and I am near.”

When friends fall out and words go wrong,
Jesus teaches my heart a kinder song,
I can say sorry, I can forgive,
Because His love shows me how to live.

When I feel left out, He pulls me close,
When I feel worried, His peace overflows,
When I feel tiny, He calls me His own,
Kingdom light shining around His throne.

[BRIDGE]
Over the mountains, under the stars,
Jesus can find me wherever we are,
Through every hallway, through every door,
His love is deeper than oceans roar.

If I make mistakes, I can run to His grace,
He does not turn away His face,
Like the father running down the road,
He welcomes children and lifts the load.

Little light, shine bright,
Jesus is near tonight,
Little heart, take flight,
Follow His love and walk in His light.

Little voice, sing strong,
You belong in His song,
Little feet, dance free,
Jesus says, “Come follow Me.”

[FINAL CHILDREN’S HOOK]
Jesus knows my name,
Jesus knows my heart,
When I feel lost,
He knows where I am.

Jesus holds my hand,
Jesus leads the way,
I am safe with the Shepherd,
I can trust Him today.

He found me, He loved me,
He carried me home,
I’m never forgotten,
I’m never alone.

Jesus knows my name,
Jesus knows my heart,

He loved me from the start.

Jesus knows my name,
Jesus knows my heart,
When the world feels loud,
He is never far.

Jesus holds my hand,
Jesus lights the way,
I am safe with the Shepherd,
I can trust Him today.

[OUTRO]
Soft piano, children humming,
Grace like golden sunrise coming,
Rainbow synths and gentle drums,
All God’s children singing as one.

I am seen, I am loved,
Jesus watches from above,
I am held, I am known,
Jesus carries me home.

Choir whispers, “He knows me.”
Children answer, “He loves me.”
Choir whispers, “He leads me.”
Children answer, “He keeps me.”

Final choir swell:
Jesus near me,
Jesus kind,
Jesus strong,
Jesus mine.

Jesus saving,
Jesus light,
Lead Your children home tonight. 🌈👑✨
