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 ?)
