Someone Who Knows Your Name​/​Hugh Healy's

from Doch​á​s (Hope) by The Crossing

/

about

Glenn Kaiser wrote the original version of this while in Scotland this past winter. Sometimes your heart can ache for a country, for the beauty of its land and the hurts of its people. The march at the end, "Hugh Healy's," was written by Tony for a memorial service.

lyrics

Standing in the mist last night
Caught by the winter rain
That fell on the ghosts of the city—
I felt I was home again.
I could almost hear ancient melodies,
The skirl, and the pibroch's pride;
But they were lost in the cries of the children,
And the hearts where hope has died.

From the highlands to harbor towns,
Barra to Culloden's plain,
You are fair and wild, bittersweet,
Lovely land, a land of pain.
God knows you were a fighter
All in your younger days;
But God knows how kingdoms come and go,
And how hard to rise again.

But I know Someone who wants you;
I know Someone who loves you,
I know Someone who knows your name,
Someone who knows your name.

A passionate heart in each one burns,
A love that's fierce and warm.
Solid you stand in wind and rain
As the mountains within the storm.
Each of you, sons and daughters,
Has a destiny
In Someone who died, who rose up again,
And in Him will your lives be free.
