Israel Houghton and New Breed's song 'He Knows My Name' is a worship song that emphasizes God's intimate knowledge and care for each person. The lyrics speak of God as Maker and Father, who formed the singer's heart and knows every thought, tear, and call. The song reassures listeners that they are never alone, as God will never leave them. It draws on the biblical theme of God's personal relationship with His children, similar to passages like Psalm 139. The repetition of 'He hears me when I call' reinforces the comfort of being known and heard by God.

I have a Maker
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in hands
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I call
I have a Father
He calls me his own
He'll never leave me
No matter where I go
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I call
He hears me when I call...
He hears me when I call...
He hears me when I call...(you are my father and I love you)
He hears me when I call...(you are my father and I love you)
He hears me when I call...(you are my father and I love you)
He hears me when I call...(you are my father and I love you)
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I call
