You Know My Name

Theology & Meaning

You Know My Name is a declaration that the God of the universe is personally acquainted with each individual believer — He knows their name, their story, their pain, and their hope. Drawing on Psalm 139's radical intimacy and John 10's Good Shepherd who calls His sheep by name, the song counters the feeling of anonymity, abandonment, or being unknown. It declares that God's knowledge of the believer is not distant information but intimate, loving attention.

Worship Leadership Tips

Powerful in healing services, altar-call settings, or in contexts where people feel unseen or unknown. The song has an immediate, personal quality that invites people to step out of the crowd and receive personal attention from God. Feature Jimi Cravity's duet dynamic if possible — the call and response adds depth.

Arrangement Tips

Gospel warmth drives this song — lush piano, light rhythm, and vocal harmony are central. Tasha Cobbs and Jimi Cravity's interplay is the model. If you have two strong vocalists, exploit that dynamic. Allow the final chorus to build and then strip back for the last declaration to feel most intimate.
