Poem
God’s Calling You Out I was walking along one day When I saw a truly awesome sight A tall man in white began to say “I will conquer all without a fight!” These were big words for a city dude Out here in this western town Big talk like that gets a body viewed Resting; permanently put down He stood in the middle of the street, His white coat blowing behind him We stood frozen right down to our feet As the light of day began to dim We were now all hiding behind things To protect us from all harms Then mightily his voice sings Praising God, he extends only his arms One by one, he called to us all You! Hiding in your work, come out Embrace my love and stand tall My dividends are bounds without! You! Hiding behind your masks Comedy and indifference alike See that with love your tasks Can be easy, like riding a bike You! Hiding in your comfort zone All nestled in fear and self hate My love delivers; you’’ll not be alone Take my hand and do not hesitate You! Running away from me What or whom do you run to? As he spoke those words loudly A terrible storm came into view While we were standing there, In the middle of that street We were now fearfully aware That our doom we might now meet We looked to him, waiting Then he moved toward us I was not about hesitating While others began to cuss As I made my way to the man Others ran for cover indoors Once to Him, I took his hand And saw His nail scarred sores As I stood close to Him I saw Only scars, no blood at all But as I moved away it was raw And blood began to fall The others there could only see That they were gonna die They paid no mind to Him or me I motioned now to those nearby This man is our salvation I cried And many moved toward us And now with Him we abide Our town had turned to dust Here in the new town, we know Beyond a shadow of a doubt That he knows our towns will go That’s why He’s calling us out!
