You call me to yourself, come follow and believe
Cast off your old ways and seek me with all you are
You call me to the unknown with only faith that you are there
I hear you calling in the night “Awake, sleeper; and rise”
“Here I am Lord” I say as I yawn and rub my eyes
I call you my child, I call you my sheep
I watch over always, never slumber nor sleep
I call you to go out and spread the good news
Fear not, I equip those whom I choose
Heal the sick and love the unloved
Let all people know that they are beloved
I call you by name I hold you in my hand
Have faith, and believe in what I have planned
You call me to walk, leave it all and follow you
I want to but it scares me, it’s true
Still you call me without ceasing
To surrender and by releasing
I find a peace I’ve never known before
A peace that comes only from the Lord
I call you into prayer and out to action
To learn the Spirituality of Subtraction
As I empty myself I am able to be filled
With Christ and what he has willed
The less of me the more you are
When I forget, remind me that you’re the star
You have given me everything so everything is yours
I am nothing without you: you are my everything
You gave me life and the ability to laugh and dance and sing
So for you I’ll laugh and sing and dance
To my last breath I’ll praise you at every chance
You call me for more; for a greater mission
And I could know if I would listen
“So here I am Lord, speak to me
My ears to hear and my eyes to see”
