Song Lyrics

I Am Known

Isaiah 62:2, John 10:27

Verse 1:

In the crowd, You see my face,
You call me out with endless grace.
Among the billions, I am known,
You whisper softly, “Child, come home.”

Chorus:

I am known, I am loved,
By the One who reigns above.
El Roi, You see my soul,
In Your heart, I am whole.

Verse 2:

I confess my wandering ways,
Your mercy meets me every day.
You call me by a name brand new,
Restored in love, I’m found in You.

Chorus:

I am known, I am loved,
By the One who reigns above.
El Roi, You see my soul,
In Your heart, I am whole.

Bridge:

For every heart that feels unseen,
Reveal Your love, let mercy glean.
Draw them near, let them know,
In Yeshua’s name, they’re not alone.

Chorus:

I am known, I am loved,
By the One who reigns above.
El Roi, You see my soul,
In Your heart, I am whole.

Outro:

Blessed be the name that calls me home,
Forever loved, forever known.

Surmon Notes

🔥 Sermon: Known by Name, Held by Grace

🕊️ 1. The God Who Sees and Names

We live in a world of metrics, algorithms, and masses—where it’s easy to feel like a number, an afterthought, or just another voice in the crowd. Yet the heart of the song *“I Am Known”* proclaims a greater truth: **we are not anonymous in the Kingdom of God**. We are fully seen, deeply known, and personally named by the Creator of the universe.

“O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.” — Psalm 139:1

Psalm 139 reveals the intimate awareness of El Roi, the God who sees. This isn’t a distant glance or casual awareness—it’s penetrating, tender knowledge. God sees the depths we hide, the longings we can’t articulate, the wounds we don’t show others. And yet, He calls us by name.

Isaiah 62:2 declares, *“You shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.”* This is the promise of divine identity. You are not the sum of your failures, your reputation, or your past. You are named by the One who made you, redeemed you, and calls you His own.

🌿 Reflection:

What names have you carried that didn’t come from God? Are you willing to surrender them and receive the one He has chosen for you?

🔥 2. From Wandering to Belonging

The song’s second verse acknowledges our humanity: *“I confess my wandering ways, Your mercy meets me every day.”* This line is the gospel in miniature. Though we drift, stumble, or stray, God’s mercy runs faster. His grace is not rationed—it is renewed *every morning* (Lamentations 3:22–23).

“And the LORD said unto Moses, I know thee by name.” — Exodus 33:17

When Moses asked to see God’s glory, it wasn’t because he was perfect. It was because he was hungry to know God more intimately. And the Lord answered by saying, *“I know you by name.”* That’s how intimacy with God begins—not with spiritual credentials, but with divine recognition.

Yeshua says in John 10:27, *“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”* When we follow His voice, we aren’t entering a religious program—we’re returning to the One who knew us before we were born, who never stopped pursuing us.

🕊️ Application:

Where have you been wandering emotionally, spiritually, or relationally? Do you believe mercy is already on the road to meet you there?

🌸 3. The Ministry of the Known

“For every heart that feels unseen, reveal Your love…” The bridge of this song shifts us from being comforted to being commissioned. You are known so you can remind others that *they* are known too. This is not merely a worship experience—it’s a **pastoral call**.

In a culture plagued with loneliness, depression, and identity confusion, your voice matters. You may not hold a microphone, but you carry the authority of the Spirit when you speak truth over a weary soul. You become the echo of the Shepherd who calls His sheep by name.

“He that overcometh… I will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written.” — Revelation 2:17

This promise isn’t just futuristic—it’s prophetic. In Christ, you are overcoming fear, shame, and invisibility. That white stone is your reminder: your identity is hidden in Yeshua, and **it cannot be erased**.

🔥 Challenge:

Who around you needs to be reminded that they are not forgotten by God? Ask the Holy Spirit to show you someone this week to encourage with this truth: *You are seen. You are known. You are loved.*

Prayer

El Roi, You are the God who sees. You have searched me and known me. You know my thoughts, my pain, my longings—and still You love me. I come to You not with perfection, but with surrender.

Thank You that I am not invisible to You. Thank You for naming me, redeeming me, and restoring me. I lay down every false label I’ve worn—every name assigned by fear, failure, or man—and I receive the new name You have spoken over me in mercy and grace.

Lord, make me a vessel of this truth to others. Let my words carry healing, my prayers bring comfort, and my life point to the unwavering love of Yeshua. May I never forget that I am known. And may I never stop reminding others that they are too. In Yeshua’s name, Amen.

Activation

🌿 Prophetic Action:

Write down three names or identities you’ve believed that were not from God—names like Rejected, Forgotten, Not Enough. Now, next to each, write the name God gives you—Chosen, Beloved, Redeemed. Declare them aloud over yourself daily this week.

🕊️ Intercession Focus:

Ask the Holy Spirit to highlight one person in your life who feels unseen. Commit to praying for them daily. Then reach out—with a text, a word, a prayer, or even the link to this song. Let them know: “You are known.”

🎶 Worship Practice:

Return to “I Am Known” not just as a listener, but as a worshipper. Sing it as a prayer. Sing it over yourself. Sing it over the lost, the lonely, the broken. Let the lyrics become intercession. Let them restore your identity.

Final Word

Beloved, you are not hidden in the crowd. You are not forgotten in the noise. The Lord sees you, knows you, and names you. You are not just seen—you are cherished. Not just heard—you are held. You are known by name. And in His heart, you are home.

🎵 Cue gentle intro music 🎵

Hi friends—and welcome back to today’s episode of *The Name Above All Names*. I’m so thankful you’re here. Whether you’re in the car, out walking, or sitting quietly with a warm drink in hand, I pray these next few minutes become sacred space—a moment where the voice of the Lord speaks gently to your heart. Today’s song is a deeply intimate one. It’s called “I Am Known”, and it draws us into a truth that many of us desperately need to hear: you are not invisible to God. You are known—fully, truly, tenderly known—and still loved.

👑 His Kingship Is Eternal

🎶 Instrumental swell 🎶

From the first line—“In the crowd, You see my face”—this song leads us away from the noise of performance and comparison. The world is full of titles, expectations, and metrics that measure worth. But our King isn’t counting numbers—He’s calling names. He is El Roi, the God who sees. Psalm 139 tells us, “O Lord, You have searched me and known me.” This is not casual awareness—it’s deep recognition. The Lord knows your sitting down and your rising. He discerns your thoughts before you can even speak them. And still… He draws near.

Isaiah 62:2 reminds us that we are called by a new name—one that the Lord Himself gives. Not what culture says, not what shame whispers, but what the Father lovingly speaks. You are not just part of the crowd—you are a royal diadem in His hand.

🙌 Surrender Is the Sound of Worship

🎶 Cue brief instrumental interlude 🎶

The second verse of the song confesses something many of us relate to: “I confess my wandering ways.” We’ve all wandered—emotionally, spiritually, relationally. Yet the next line sings with promise: “Your mercy meets me every day.” Friends, His mercy isn’t rare. It isn’t reluctant. It’s new every morning. Like the manna in the wilderness, it shows up fresh—enough for today. Exodus 33:17 says, “I know you by name, and you have found grace in My sight.”

What if you stopped striving to be seen—and simply received that truth today? What if your worship was less about trying to get God’s attention… and more about resting in the fact that you already have it?

🛡️ Intercession: When Worship Becomes Warfare

🎵 Pause. Let Holy Spirit bring names to mind 🎵

The bridge of this song shifts the focus outward. “For every heart that feels unseen, reveal Your love.” This is where the personal becomes prophetic. You are not just a recipient of God’s knowledge—you’re a carrier of His heart. Who in your world feels forgotten? Whose name is the Lord placing on your heart right now?

Revelation 2:17 says the overcomer will be given a white stone, and on it, a new name written—known only to the one who receives it. That’s the power of intimacy. It’s not loud or flashy—it’s personal, hidden, eternal. When you intercede for the unseen, you align with heaven. You become a mouthpiece of mercy, a vessel of divine truth. Worship becomes warfare when you declare over someone, “You are known. You are not alone.”

🌍 Final Reflections: A Life That Crowns Him Daily

Let me ask you something gently—have you believed a name that God never gave you? Maybe you’ve been living under “unworthy,” “forgotten,” or “not enough.” Beloved, it’s time to lay that name down. The voice of the Shepherd still speaks: “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”

This week, take time to sit in the presence of El Roi. Ask Him to remind you of your true name. Let this song be more than music—let it be a mirror that reflects the heart of a Father who calls you home. Let the name He speaks over you define your worship, your worth, and your witness.

🎶 Soft outro music begins 🎶

🙏 Closing Prayer

Yeshua, I thank You for being the God who sees me. When the world rushes past, You stop. When I feel lost in the noise, You whisper my name. You have searched me and known me—and still You love me.

I lay down every false identity I’ve carried. Every name given by pain, comparison, or fear—I give it to You. Speak over me again, Lord. Let me hear what You say about me. Let me walk in the confidence that I am not forgotten—I am known.

And Father, make me an encourager. Use my voice to speak Your love over those who feel invisible. Let me carry Your heart for the unseen, and declare their worth in Your name. I bless You, El Roi. In You, I am whole. Amen.
