Do You?
When you hear His voice call sweetly yonder
do you turn quickly to walk away?
When He soothes the hurt that another inflicted
do you glibly scowl and sway?
When He asks you to do a work for Him
are you looking for an excuse to run?
When He sends someone for you to touch
do you say, “I’d rather be having fun!”
As His eyes fill with tears and His heart breaks in two
Is it true that you don’t even care?
When your time comes to die and you wrestle with fear
Do you lay there using His name to swear?
He whispered your name many a time
It was not His choice that you knew Him not
It was your heart that was closed to His voice
You made the decision ... you’ve earned what you got.
