The value 'Text' cannot be converted to a number, but is not defined as numeric

Morning all!  I cannot figure out this error I am getting.  I have a data entry field in a Gallery (TextInput_Name) Format = Text. 
 
In my Save:
 Contact_Name: Value(TextInput_Name.Text),
 
The column Contact_Name is defined as a single line of text. 
 
So I enter 'Test' on my form in the field, and Power Apps throws 'The value Test cannot be converted to a number.'  There isn't any place where I have this value defined as a number.

    Contact_Name: Text(TextInput_Name.Text) or leave it as Contact_Name: TextInput_Name.Text
