Song Story 

“ ‘Call My Name’ is one of the first ones we worked on in Charlottesville in the initial writing session and it’s one that I kind of gravitated to immediately mainly because of the lyric. Working with Howard Benson took it to the next level. As a drummer it challenged me because it’s very easy for me to want to make my parts complex, but the drum part on it is so basic, it just works really well. Plus I just think there’s an energy in the way Mac sings the bridge. I’ve played it for a few people and I say, ‘Just don’t talk to me until you get past the bridge, I want you to hear this.’ It’s so amazing the way he belts it out and everyone I’ve played it for totally agrees. I’m really anxious for people to hear it. They are going to be blown away with just the vocal performance and the passion behind what is actually a pretty simple lyric. It’s crying out to God and calling out his name.” – David Carr

Song Lyrics 

It’s been so long since you felt like you were loved
So what went wrong
But do you know there’s a place where you belong
Here in my arms

When you feel like you’re alone in your sadness
And it seems like no one in this whole world cares
And you want to get away from the madness
You just call my name and I’ll be there
You just call my name and I’ll be there

The pain inside has erased your hope for love
But soon you will find
That I’ll give you all that your heart could ever want
And so much more

You just call my name
You just call my name

Call my name, say it now
I want you to never doubt
The love I have for you is so alive

Call my name, say it now
I want you to never doubt
The love I have for you is so alive

You just call my name
You just call my name
You just call my name now

The love I have for you is so alive
The love I have for you is so alive
You just call my name
You just call my name
You just call my name

    I am a youth pastor and I hate to say that I had burnt out. I have had a lot of family stuff going on as well as church stuff. I had given up not just on church stuff but my wife and God. I was sitting at my desk and turned on this song and I just read a verse a friend of mine posted on facebook and listened.
    Psalm 94:17-19 (The Message) If God hadn't been there for me, I never would have made it. The minute I said, "I'm slipping, I'm falling," your love, God, took hold and held me fast. When I was upset and beside myself, you calmed me down and cheered me up."
    I have learned how good it is to fall when I have God to fall on. To anyone feeling like me......just hold on!
    Thanks Third Day for singing your hearts for Christ. God is using you! Thanks!

    Today my family was on our way to our house that was being Auctioned. We were sitting in silience and our radio came on (by it self), The song "Call my name" was playing. We had been praying, but my husband pulled over and thats exactly what we did... We called on His name!!! The auction went well and I thank my Lord, King, & Savior. Also the power of the Holy Spirit and your music to encourage us to Call On His Name. Blessings to you.
