Lyrics
For the broken and waiting
You are I AM;
For the faithful and trusting
You are I AM;
When the storms surround
And the waters rise
Let Your praises be lifted on high.
Call on the Name of the LORD,
Trust and believe in His Name,
LORD JEHOVAH,
Abba Father,
You are the Great I AM,
For every need there is a Name,
Call on the Name of the LORD,
Call on the LORD.
For the lost and abandoned
You are I AM;
For the soul who is thirsty
You are I AM;
All through the ages,
You are true to Your promise,
Let Your praises be lifted on high.
Call on the Name of the LORD,
Trust and believe in His Name,
LORD JEHOVAH,
Abba Father,
You are the Great I AM,
For every need there is a Name,
LORD JEHOVAH,
ABBA FATHER,
ADONAI,
LORD OF ALL,
JEHOVAH RAPHA,
YOU'RE MY HEALER,
EL GIBOR,
MIGHTY GOD,
JEHOVAH JIREH,
MY PROVIDER,
LORD OF LIFE,
MORNING STAR,
LORD JEHOVAH,
ABBA FATHER,
YOU'RE MY HEALER,
MIGHTY GOD.
Call on the Name of the LORD,
Trust and believe in His Name,
Call on the Name of the LORD,
Trust and believe in His Name,
LORD JEHOVAH, (Jehovah)
Abba Father, (my Father)
You are the Great I AM,
For every need there is a Name, (Jehovah)
For every need there is a Name, (Yeshua)
For every need there is a Name, (There is a Name)
Call on the Name of the LORD,
(Call on the Name of the LORD)
(Call on the Name of the LORD)
Call on the Name (Call on the Name of the LORD)
Call on the Name (Call on the Name of the LORD)
Call on the Name of the LORD
Call on the Name (Call on the Name of the LORD)
Call on the Name (Call on the Name of the LORD)
Call on the Name of the LORD

Meaning & Inspiration
“Call on the Name” presents God’s revealed names as grounds for trust in distress. Broken, waiting, lost, abandoned, and thirsty people are placed beside the divine declaration “I AM,” linking human need with God’s enduring presence. Storms and rising waters do not silence praise; instead, the lyric directs attention toward the Lord as the One who remains faithful through every age.
Its chorus joins calling, trusting, and believing, treating prayer as confidence in God’s character rather than confidence in circumstances. The sequence of names expands that confession: Father, Lord, healer, mighty God, provider, giver of life, and morning star. Each title highlights an aspect of divine authority or care, while the recurring “Great I AM” anchors them in God’s self-revelation. The song’s repeated invitation to call on the Lord thus becomes both worship and petition, affirming that every need can be brought before the God whose promises remain true.
