Dan Bremnes's song reflects on a lifelong journey of calling on Jesus from childhood through adulthood, through rebellion, marriage, parenthood, and the devastating loss of his mother. The lyrics trace moments of uncertainty and grief, yet consistently return to the simple act of praying Jesus' name when words fail. It's a heartfelt reminder of persistent faith and dependence on God's grace across every season of life.

When I first called Your name, I was only five
Didn't know what to say, how to do it right
Just stood there with my eyes closed that Sunday night
Fast forward, fifteen just a rebel child
Church camp baptized by the Holy fire
Head down, eyes closed as I walked the aisle
Wouldn't be the last time
That I called Your name
I called Your name
'Cause I'm still a child just reaching out for grace
I called Your name
I still call that name
'Cause sometimes there's just nothing left to say
Don't blink time flies faster than you think
Woke up two kids girl of my dreams
Feels like sometimes we're holding on for dear life, yeah
Between the long days and the short nights
It's the hard talks and the tears cried
Most days I wonder am I doing this thing right
But I called Your name
I called Your name
'Cause I'm still a child just reaching out for grace
I called Your name (Jesus)
I still call that name (Jesus)
'Cause sometimes there's just nothing left to say
The fourteenth that cold September day
Got the call that I'd prayed I would never take
Truck ran that red light, mom she's not coming home
Just lay there empty never felt so alone
I called Your name (Jesus)
I called Your name (Jesus)
'Cause sometimes there's just nothing left to say
I call Your name (Jesus)
Jesus that name (Jesus)
'Cause I'm still a child who's reaching out for grace
I call Your name (Jesus)
I call Your name (Jesus)
'Cause I'm still a child just reaching out for grace
