He Called Her Name in the Garden

Lyrics

Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC

[Chorus – Full Choir, Slow and Soulful]
He called her name
He called her name
Mary stood there weeping
Till He called her name

She thought He was the gardener
Her eyes were filled with pain
Then resurrection spoke one word
And He called her name

He called her name
He called her name
The moment Jesus said, "Mary"
Everything changed

[Bridge – Warm Stacked Harmonies]
Woman
Why weepest thou?

Whom seekest thou
In this garden?

They moved the stone
The tomb was empty

But she could not see
That hope was standing near

Turn around
Turn around

The One you came looking for
Is standing there

[Chorus – Rising Strings, Restrained Brass Hits]
He called her name
He called her name
She came searching for a body
But He called her name

Death could not hold Him
The grave had lost its claim

She knew the voice of Jesus
When He called her name

He called her name
He called her name
Sorrow turned to worship
When He called her name

[Bridge – Dynamic Choir Changes]
Rabboni
Rabboni

Master
You are living

Rabboni
Rabboni

The grave
Could not contain You

Go tell
My brethren

Go tell them
I am risen

The woman who came crying
Left the garden with a message

[Repetitive Run – Slow-Burning Choir Pocket]
Mary
Mary

He called her
Mary

Mary
Mary

She knew His voice
When He said Mary

Turn around
Turn around

Your Savior
Is standing there

Turn around
Turn around

Resurrection
Is standing there

He lives
He lives

Jesus Christ
He lives

He lives
He lives

The grave
Could not hold Him

Go tell it
Go tell it

Go tell
My brethren

Go tell it
Go tell it

The Lord
Is risen

[Choir Run – Powerful Layered Harmonies]
She heard one word
And sorrow broke

She heard one word
And hope arose

She heard one word
The darkness moved

She heard her name
And knew the truth

He knows your name
He knows your tears

He knows the place
Where grief appears

He knows your name
He calls you near

The risen Savior
Is standing here

[Outro – Full Orchestra, Controlled Choir]
She entered the garden
With spices and sorrow

She left with a message
That changed every tomorrow

The tomb was still empty
But her heart was no longer the same

Resurrection became personal
When Jesus called her name

He called her name
He called her name

[Final Choir Hit]
Mary!
