Whisper My Name
Randy Travis · I Told You So - The Ultimate Hits Of Randy Travis (2 CD) [2009]
I heard a woman sing Amazing Grace
I heard a night bird call to its mate
When I heard you whisper my name
I heard freedom break its chain
I heard a heart beat where once no sound remained
I heard angels rise and praise
When I heard you whisper my name
Chorus:
I heard music bring a heart of stone to tears
I heard peace ring like an anthem through the years
And I heard hatred fall from grace
When I heard you whisper my name
Beating softly against the waves
Fell a sound of an early morning rain
And though the lightning and thunder came
I still heard you whisper my name
-Chorus-
And I heard angels rise and praise
When I heard you whisper my name
Whisper My Name
