My Name

My Name

Father does Thou know my name?
A single soul of little worth,
Who unlike Thy begotten Son
No angels voice declared my birth.

From Thy throne lifted high
Always bathed in perfect light.
Can Thine eye behold this place,
Too often veiled in endless night?

Does Thou here me when I cry,
From sorrows in my life, I've known?
Does a voice as weak as mine
Ascend the distance to Thy throne?

I was taught while in my youth,
Thou knowest even the sparrow's fall.
Of the creations of Thy hands,
Surely I am the least of all!

Then in my soul a voice was heard,
It quiet majesty it did proclaim;
"Peace be unto you my son.
Dear William, I do know thy name.

William E. Lee
