A New Name
She will give you a new name
Your name will be
A mighty conqueror
A brave warrior
A knight of valor
Ten thousands of ruddy horses
Will storm through the gates
Of your desert sand castles
And drag you off
To the ends of horizons
In languish and toil
You will subdue and slay
The ancient dragons
Of mortal self
Twelve foolish maidens
Will toast to your death
One will await
Your resurrection

Vineyard song:
I Will Change Your Name
(D.J. Butler)
I will change your name
You shall no longer be called
Wounded, outcast
Lonely or afraid
I will change your name
Your new name shall be
Confidence, joyfulness
Overcoming one
Faithfulness, friend of God
One who seeks my face.
Isaiah 62:2b,4,5b
…you will be called by a new name
that the mouth of the LORD will bestow…
No longer will they call you Deserted,
or name your land Desolate.
But you will be called Hephzibah [“my delight is in her”],
and your land Beulah [“married”];
for the LORD will take delight in you,
and your land will be married.
…as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
so will your God rejoice over you.
