The Bells

I hear the church bells ringing They are calling us all home For he has an open door In this life that we roam Those bells sound out to all Come meet our precious Lord If you feel that tender calling The ship is here, so come on board For I heard those bells so long ago They called deeply to my heart He reached out and touched me, I heard His call And now we'll never part So this I sing so you will know That calling you feel is real If you choose to follow the King of Kings The devil, your soul, can't steal That tug on your heart is Him dear friend Don't turn your soul away For tomorrow is not promised When He is calling you today Oh the gift of that sweet calling The love and mercy it brings I shall forever stand for Jesus And in my heart those church bells ring!
