Meaning & Inspiration
“You Know My Name” by Jimi Cravity and Tasha Cobbs Leonard is a worship song about being personally known by God. The verse and chorus repeat “You know my name,” then add that He walks with, talks with, comforts, and counsels the singer, and that it “still amazes me that I am Your friend.”
The second verse is a prayer of pouring out the heart in God’s presence and being made new. The bridge shifts to confidence: no fire can burn, no battle can turn, no mountain can stop, no giant can defeat the singer because “You hold my hand.” This is close to Isaiah 43:1-2 and Isaiah 41:13, and the line about friendship recalls John 15:15.
The closing bridge repeats “You hold my hand” and “I’m so in love with You.” The message is that being known and held by God removes fear.
