WHISPER MY NAME
(Trey Bruce (m & l) )

Sung by Randy Travis 1994 < This is Me >

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.

And I heard music, bring a heart of stone to tears
And I heard peace ring, like an anthem through the years
And I heard hatred, fall from grace
When I heard you, whisper my name.

(bridge)

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.

I heard music, bring a heart of stone to tears
And I heard peace ring, like an anthem through the years
And I heard hatred, fall from grace
When I heard you, whisper my name.

I heard angels, rise and praise
When I heard you, whisper my name.
