I Will Change Your Name

As you can see from the post below, I have been thinking and feeling about the kind of God I believe in. One of the exercises from Creating a Life that Matters is to take this song, which is God singing to us, and change it so that we are signing it back to God, with our negative images of God (judgmental is a big one for me) in the first part, and our positive images of God (protector for me) in the second part.

I Will Change Your Name

(D.J. Butler)


      I will change your name
      You shall no longer be called
      Wounded, outcast
      Lonely or afraid

      I will change your name
      Your new name shall be
      Confidence, joyfulness
      Overcoming one
      Faithfulness, friend of God
      One who seeks my face.
