Gods Call On My Life

God's call on my life is 
what I've been missin.'
Since that day he called me. 
 But I didn't listen.

For all the wicked ways
 I have lived...
He's been so patient and
 willing to forgive.

I once loved him.  His word 
I held so dear...
I'm now living in bondage 
and so much fear.

I remember reading about
 God's only son...
And how the battle for my soul 
has already been won!

Look at me now!  My life is 
such a big mess!
I've put my family through
 so much stress.

They've loved me and prayed
 for me all this time...
I have put them all on "the battle line."

The battle line for the soul 
has been drawn...
Any happiness and joy
 in my life is gone.

So... Lord Jesus...  I kneel 
before your throne...
I ask you into my heart 
and my home.

Help me now to listen to your call...
Knowing you now...  Is worth it all!

You've so beautiful dear Jesus. 
 I love you so much...
The hem of your garment is
 what I seek to touch!
