Whisper My Name

Randy Travis · I Told You So - The Ultimate Hits Of Randy Travis (2 CD) [2009]

I heard a freight train out across the way

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
