When I was 24, I lost my mom in a car accident. When I was 37, I lost my faith. This is complicated because I’m a Christian recording artist. I was in a writing room with two other guys, and I was honest with them. I didn’t know what to write about. And I immediately remembered an experience I had a few months before. I think it was the middle of the night. I felt very trapped, and it was a scary moment. And I remember trying everything I could and nothing working, and the only thing I had left was the name of Jesus.
And I called it. The darkness lifted, and it’s like, wow. I started to realize how this this string of faith had been weaved throughout my life. And looking at it and realizing, this isn’t something I wanna lose. And that became the foundation that I rebuilt my faith off of.
Today it feels different but stronger than it ever has. I think a lot of people are wrestling with their faith, and I think they don’t know what to do about that, or they feel ashamed of that, or they feel like it disqualifies them, but I actually think it’s the opposite. I think we’re here to wrestle with our faith, and I think that is going to be our story and it’s definitely mine.

The Lyrics
When I first called Your name, I was only five
Didn’t know what to say, how to do it right
Just stood there with my eyes closed that Sunday night
Fast forward, fifteen just a rebel child
Church camp baptized by the Holy fire
Head down, eyes closed as I walked the aisle
Wouldn’t be the last time
That I called Your name
I called Your name
‘Cause I’m still a child just reaching out for grace
I called Your name
I still call that name
‘Cause sometimes there’s just nothing left to say
Don’t blink time flies faster than you think
Woke up two kids girl of my dreams
Feels like sometimes we’re holding on for dear life, yeah
Between the long days and the short nights
It’s the hard talks and the tears cried
Most days I wonder am I doing this thing right
But I called Your name
I called Your name
‘Cause I’m still a child just reaching out for grace
I called Your name (Jesus)
I still call that name (Jesus)
‘Cause sometimes there’s just nothing left to say
The fourteenth that cold September day
Got the call that I’d prayed I would never take
Truck ran that red light, mom she’s not coming home
Just lay there empty never felt so alone
I called Your name (Jesus)
I called Your name (Jesus)
‘Cause sometimes there’s just nothing left to say
I call Your name (Jesus)
Jesus that name (Jesus)
‘Cause I’m still a child who’s reaching out for grace
I call Your name (Jesus)
I call Your name (Jesus)
‘Cause I’m still a child just reaching out for grace
