It tells the story of a soul lost in despair, bound by shame and broken dreams, who cries out to God and is met with overwhelming love.

With its reflective verses and soaring chorus, its a moving reminder that no darkness can silence the one who calls upon His name.
Lyrics
You Called My Name Chorus: While drowning in despair, I called Your name through the storm and shadowed clouds; You wrapped me in love and called my name, and drew my soul from the dark. While covered in shame, I called Your name and You came riding through the clouds; You shone from within and called my name, then clothed me wholly in Your light. Verse 1: My dreams were eaten by worms, bound in shadows and chains with an endless desire yet to be set free. My chains, though rusted, lay buried deep within my feet yet I prayed each night to be set free. You came alone in the night and broke my chains You set this captive free. You washed my feet and healed my wounds; in love, You rescued me. *Chorus* Verse 2: Holy, holy is the Lord whose presence mends the broken heart. Exalt His name in endless praise His love knows no bound or part. Bring your burdens to the Lord His mercy flows like a gentle stream. Glorify His holy name salvation shines for all who believe. *Chorus* Copyright 2025 Richard Shekari. Written, produced and performed by Richard Shekari.
