“God Whispered Your Name” is a song recorded by New Zealand-Australian country music singer Keith Urban. It was released on 2 March 2020 as the second single from Urban’s upcoming eleventh studio album The Speed of Now Part 1.
American Christian musician Chris August co-wrote the song with Shy Carter, Micah Carter, and James T. Slater. Urban co-produced with Dan McCarroll. Of the song, Urban told Nash Country Daily, “absolutely spoke to me and tells my journey in such a profound way going through a season in life of being very lost and lonely and confused and not knowing how to get out of that”.
“Suddenly I wanna live
More than I ever did
I’m never gonna be the same
When God whispered your name
I can see the sunshine
For the first time in a while
Girl, it’s like I’ve been baptized
By the warmth of your smile, mm
Well, call it fate or faith or call it crazy either way
It’s amazin’, amazin’ grace”
Jennifer Massaux directed the music video, which features Urban performing in a basement, from which he escapes to find a sunlit landscape. The basement scenes were filmed underneath a warehouse in Nashville, Tennessee, while the outside scenes were filmed in Lancaster, California.
