Someday He'll Whisper My Name Lyrics - Merle Haggard

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. 

(instrumental chorus to end)
