I will not abandon you; all my promises are true. You are gifted, called, and chosen; you are mine. 2 I will help you learn my name as you go; read it written in my people, help them grow. Pour the water in my name, speak the word your soul can claim, offer Jesus' body given long ago. 3 I know you will need my touch as you go; feel it pulsing in creation's ebb and flow. Like the woman reaching out, choosing faith in spite of doubt, hold the hem of Jesus' robe, then let it go. 4 I have given you a name, it is mine; I have given you my Spirit as a sign. With my wonder in your soul, make my wounded children whole; go and tell my precious people they are mine. FRENCH: 1 Tu sais...je t'ai appelé(e) par ton nom; aujourd'hui pour moi, rayonne de tes dons. Je te garde près do moi; mes promesses song pour toi. Je t'ai choisi(e) et appelé(e) par ton nom. 2 Je t'apprendrai mon nom à chaque pas. Lisle en tous ceux que tu recontreras. En versant l'eau en mon nom, procclame la communion; et de Jésus, qui s'est donné, suis les pas. 3 Tu auras besoin de moi en chemin. En tous lieux, sens ma présence et mon soutien. Comme cette femme en pleurs qui a surmonté ses peurs, touche et laisse aller Jésus sur son chemin. 4 Je t'ai donné un nom qui est le mien. Maintenant, par mon Espirt, tu m'appartiens. Par mon nom l'âme animée, guéris mes enfants blessés. Va, disleur qu'ils me sont précieux, qu'ils sont miens.
