Matthew West's song 'Hello, My Name Is' is a declaration of identity in Christ. The lyrics contrast the lies of regret and defeat with the truth that believers are children of the one true King. It speaks of being saved, changed, and set free, referencing the hymn 'Amazing Grace.' The song emphasizes that past failures no longer define a person because God makes all things new. It includes a direct allusion to 1 John 3:1 about the Father's lavish love. The overall message is one of hope, redemption, and a new identity rooted in God's grace.

Hello, my name is Regret.

I'm pretty sure we have met.

Every single day of your life

I'm the whisper inside

That won't let you forget.


Hello, my name is Defeat.

I know you recognize me.

Just when you think you can win

I drag you right back down again

'Til you've lost all belief.


Oh, these are the voices. Oh, these are the lies.

And I have believed them for the very last time.


Hello, my name is Child of the one true King.

I've been saved, I've been changed, I have been set free.

"Amazing Grace" is the song I sing.

Hello, my name is Child of the one true King.


I am no longer defined

By all the wreckage behind.

The one who makes all things new

Has proven it's true.

Just take a look at my life.


Hello, my name is Child of the one true King.

I've been saved, I've been changed, I have been set free.

"Amazing Grace" is the song I sing.

Hello, my name is Child of the one true King.


What love the Father has lavished upon us that we should be called His children?

I am a child of the one true King.


What love the Father has lavished upon us that we should be called His children?


Hello, my name is Child of the one true King.

I've been saved, I've been changed, I have been set free.

"Amazing Grace" is the song I sing.

Hello, my name is Child of the one true King.


I am a child of the one true King.
