RIGHTEOUS IS MY NAME

RIGHTEOUS IS MY NAME

Locked inside this little prison
all alone with He
No one sees me. No one knows me
And He won’t set me free

Here I linger. Here I languish.
Rotting like the dead
I’m so weary of this music
in my lonesome head

This is business. This is classic.
This is what God does
I’m not yet what He’s making me
But I’m not what I was


In this dungeon wrapped in ego
fading with the years
I can see the face of Jesus
shining through these tears


I will endure, I will despise
all my sorrow’s shame
Listen to me. I must tell you
righteous is my name

Righteous is my name in Jesus
And He remains the same
