Named After an Angel

[Verse 1]
Four of us
For some years
An empty chair
An echo here
Mom’s eyes held a quiet storm
We laughed
But the room felt torn
A phone call in the middle of June
Heartbeat flicker on a grainy screen
They said “it’s a boy
” the nurse smiled wide
We just cried
Yeah
We just cried
[Chorus]
So we gave you his name
Said it soft
Like a prayer
Every time that we say it
Feels like he’s still right here
You walked into our hurting
Turned the broken into blessed
Little boy
You helped us heal
With the name on your tiny chest
[Verse 2]
We trace the letters on your door
Same ones carved in our hearts before
You laugh like him when you fall asleep
Same crooked grin
Same dimple in your cheek (oh)
We tell you stories ‘bout the one you’re from
How he lit up every room he walked in
Now when you run down the hallway fast
It feels like past and present overlap
[Chorus]
So we gave you his name
Said it soft
Like a prayer
Every time that we say it
Feels like he’s still right here
You walked into our hurting
Turned the broken into blessed
Little boy
You helped us heal
With the name on your tiny chest
[Bridge]
You’re the answer we didn’t know we needed
Hope in a pair of brand new eyes
God held our pain
Then He breathed you into it
Now love’s the only thing that fills this life
[Chorus]
So we gave you his name
Said it soft
Like a prayer
Every time that we say it
Feels like he’s still right here
You walked into our hurting
Turned the broken into blessed
Little boy
You helped us heal
You’re the gift we won’t forget
[Outro]
Four of us
Now there’s you
All this hurt turned into truth
We were broken
Now we’re blessed
And His name’s written on your chest
