When God Calls

When God calls Do you answer the call? Do you listen at all? Do you run from the room? Pretend that he is not on the line? That maybe he will lose your number? When God calls Do you celebrate or hide? Do listen or turn your back? Do you open the door or lock it up tight? I know for me I have done it all Run toward Run away Opened the door And also turned off the light Pretending that I am not home And yet he keeps calling me Wondering when I will awake Awake not only to his purpose for me but to the reason I am here at all All I can promise is that I am listening now And am here to give my life to serve you To serve those who need me as I need them To live to glorify your name in a way that is uniquely me I am blessed (Answering the Question is my soul awake now ?)
