We named you _______ because it’s the name of a lion.
A strong, brave, clever, silly, compassionate lion.
A lion to honor. The roar. The mane.
That’s why we wanted you to carry your name.
We named you _______ because it came to us in a dream.
An angel came down and said, “Look here and see.”
She glimmered and glowed and flew ever so near
And whispered your name crystal clear in our ears.
We named you _______ because it’s a name fit for a star.
There’s no way to tell you how beloved you are.
You’re worth more than rubies and silver and gold.
God took his time when he made you, and you broke the mold.
We named you _______ because we love how it sounds.
It rolled off our lips. It felt right in our mouths.
Like honey and chocolate and sharp apple crisp,
Your name came so sweet, we said, “Yes, that’s it.”
We named you _______ because we love what it means.
It will be with you always, no matter what the future brings.
Names are like a calling, inviting you into a big, bright, full way.
Your name is about tomorrow, and also yesterday.
We named you _______ because it fits you so well.
We thought and talked and prayed, and then from heaven it fell.
You can always know your name was picked by your father and mother.
But God knew your name all along; it could never be any other.
