What Have I Done With His Name? Songtext
father named me after grandpa
he said he hoped that i would one day
be the man that he was
well, grandpa died when i was five years old
so he hasn't been around to know
what his namesake has done

but what if he's watching?
what if grandpa's seen all i've become?
what have i done with his name?
i'm hoping he won't be ashamed
the right or the wrong
i've done it all with his name

someone named us after mormon
trying to turn the world against us
because a faith etched in gold
but that name has stood for goodness
and its fame now floods the nations
by the words mormon wrote

what if he's watching
have we been true what mormon made known?
what have we done with his name?
i'm hoping he won't be ashamed
the right or the wrong
we've done it all with his name

there's a name above all others
it's the only one that saves
so grandpa, me, and mormon
we love this name

and we know he's watching
jesus sees all of our faith
what will we do with his name?
he's hoping we won't be ashamed
the right or the wrong
we do it all with his name

but he can catch us when we fall
'cuz that's what he does
with his name
that blessed name
i love his name
