You are before me, Lord. You know all about me.
Before I was born, you knit me together.
Before I lived one day, you wrote the book of my life.
Even before I speak a word, you know all about it.
You are before me, Lord. I trust in you. Amen.

The first time Tommy Walker and his band visited the Philippines, they stayed in an orphanage. That first day a little boy ran up to Tommy and introduced himself as Jerry. About an hour later he ran back to Tommy and asked, “What’s my name?” Tommy replied, “Your name is Jerry.” Jerry then asked, “We’re friends, right?” The next morning Jerry came back and said, “What’s my name?” Tommy again said, “You know I know your name. It’s Jerry.” Tommy realized that Jerry, abandoned on the streets by his parents, was a forgotten person. He didn’t have anyone to remember his name. So Tommy told Jerry, “It’s great that I know your name, but your heavenly Father - even if you don’t have an earthly father – your heavenly Father will always know your name.” Tommy wrote this song to spread that message to all who at times feel lost and forgotten.
