 But so many things just got in the way The laundry had to be done The cats had to be fed It took all of my energy just to get out of bed. I wanted to mention Your Name today But when I got into work it was just the same Both phones were ringing everyone calling my name A line of customers waiting to complain It took all my energy just to get through the day. I wanted to mention Your Name today But I was late leaving the store Then the meeting started at eight So many things on the agenda just could not wait It took all of my energy just to get home safe. I wanted to mention Your Name today But by the time I got home it was late The cats had to be fed There were dishes all over the place It took all my energy just to check the mail. I wanted to mention Your Name today I wanted to make time to pray I wanted to feel You near I wanted You to soothe my pain I wanted You to restore my energy. I wanted to mention Your Name today Now the day is gone And there's just this emptiness inside This sorrow that I missed my Friend A loneliness left deep inside. I wanted to mention Your Name today Now it's all slipped away So many days have slipped away Now it gets harder and harder to pray I have no energy on any day. I wanted to mention Your Name today It's been so long - I need help to pray I've closed my eyes and refused to hear So I forgot how close You're standing near Then I heard You whisper in my ear. Make mention of My Name today And I will free you from this pain Utter just one simple word I'll open your eyes to all the worlds Feel My arms wrapped around your soul You are My child I have never let you go So mention My Name today And free yourself from all this pain.             )February 18, 2001 Fear thou God, thy Lord, and make mention of His Name in the day-time and at eventide. (Compilations, Fire and Light)
