Gave Him His Name
by Brian Angus

Album: Running Out of Time

Intro: (G) (D) (Em) (C)

(G) He was an orphan (D) nobody cared
(Em) No food to eat no (C) clothes to wear
Just (G) 13 years old, (D) hungry and cold
(G) A troubled teen shoved from (D) home to home,
(Em) Never a room to (C) call his own
Missed his (G) mom and dad,
And all the (D) love that he had
(Em) Then a man came and (C) took him in
(Em) Pick up the pieces of his (D) life again
Now (C) everything's changed,
(D) Since he gave him his (G) name

(G) He made him his child and (D) gave him his name
(Em) Gave him his wealth and took (C) away his shame
He's (G) got a new home and a (D) new attitude
(Em) A new way of life and a (D) love so true
Now (C) everything's changed,
(D) Since he gave him his (G) name (D) (Em) (C)

Just a (G) good ole boy (D) down on his luck,
(Em) A bag of clothes and a (C) pick up truck
Not a (G) thing to his name, thinking (D) he's the blame
Found his (G) way to a church and heard the (D) preacher say,
(Em) All your sins can be (C) washed away
But (G) nobody knew, what (D) he'd been through
(Em) Knelt at the altar and (C) asked him in
(Em) Gave him his life and was (D) born again
Now (C) everything's changed,
(D) Since he gave him his (G) name

Chorus

I (Em) knelt at the altar and (C) asked him in
(Em) Gave him my life and was (D) born again
Now (C) everything's changed, (D) since he gave me his (G) name

Well He made me his child and he (D) gave me his name
(Em) Gave me his wealth and took a (C) way my shame
I (G) got a new home and a (D) new attitude
(Em) New way of life and a (D) love so true
Now (C) everything's changed, (D) since he gave me his (G) name
(D) (Em) I'm so (C) glad that he (D) gave me his (G) name (D) (Em) (C) (G)
