Don't Learn My Name

Don’t learn my name – ‘cause I’m gonna get a new name

When I finally cross the river and I’m on the other side

Don’t learn my name – ‘cause I’m gonna get a new name

And the worldly-wise won’t recognize me on the other side

I’m crossing over – I’m crossing over

Leaving all my earthly worries – no more fear – kiss my pride goodbye

‘Cause I’m over – I’m crossing over

And the worldly-wise won’t recognize me on the other side

And the Lord said to Abram, “no longer will you be called Abram, no no”

And the Lord said to Sarai, “no longer will you be called Sarai, no no.”

And the Lord said to Jacob, “from now on, I’d be surprised if anybody remembers your name was Jacob” – Hear, O Israel!

And the Lord said to Daniel, “no longer will you be called Daniel (look it up, it’s complicated)”

And the Lord said to Saul, “no longer will you be called Saul, never again.”

And the Lord tells us all, “I’m gonna make all things new – brand new.”
