HE NAMED YOU - (Father Manny) different versions...this is not revised

HE NAMED YOU
(c)2004 Stephanie Durand

We are all children of God...forever

Before you were conceived,
before you believed,
the Master created you
for this land we call earth
for this thing we call life

Before you were conceived,
Before you believed,
the Great Almighty
claimed you as his own
"This is My Child,"
He was your home

He named you, he claimed you
The Great Almighty, The Master, Almighty God
He knew you before you were born

He rocked you
Before you walked this place called earth
Before your name was brought forth
He named, he claimed you, in his heart

He wrote your name in his hand
The Great Almighty had a plan
..for your life
He named you, He claimed you

Long journeys you will travel,
Some pain you might suffer in this thing
we call life
It may not be easy on the earth,
but one thing is sure forever

In the sand, a line he drew
between dark and light,
between wrong and right,
In the sand, a line he drew
for each of his children,
including you

The roads on earth are long,
They can cover you with guilty dust and sin
But one thing is true,
He sent his son for me and you
Jesus Christ

To wipe away the sin
with his life, his blood,
Because we are all his children
He named you, he claimed you

Before you were conceived,
Before you ever believed,
He named you, he claimed you
He rocked you in his arms
It was your home,
In his heart...was your first home

He held you, he rocked you,
before you lived this thing called life
Before you entered the earth
and he said with love,
"This child is Mine, forever,
this child is mine."

He named you, He claimed you
....forever
Before you went through what we call birth
He held you in his arms before you entered the earth

Part 2 of this poem is "He Rocked You"....
