Verse 1: Bitter and better, the likeness of letters, So close, but so far apart; One word's a warning, the other's a blessing, Both words describing the heart.
Verse 2: With keen ears I listen when He sends a message; God can bring famine or fame. Sweet words of Jesus can bring life eternal. Some day He'll whisper my name.
Chorus: Some day He'll whisper my name. Some day He'll carry me home. Some day He'll whisper my name. Some day He'll call me His own.
(instrumental interlude of chorus)
Chorus: Some day He'll whisper my name Some day He'll carry me home. Some day He'll whisper my name. Some day He'll call me His own.
