When You Called My Name

I want to preach the Word

they want massages

I check chapter and verse

they check their watches

I spy another yawn

I might as well be gone

let's stand and say "Amen"

some days I must admit

I still don't get this

could be it's time to quit

when days get like this

I slip into the night

then stumble towards the light

wake up and try again

Chorus

when You called my name

I didn't know how far the calling went

when You called my name

I didn't know what that word really meant

when I recall Your call

I feel

so small

could be I'm losing touch

could be they don't care

Lord knows I don't know much

Lord knows I've been there

I trip toward my retreat

I fall down at Your feet

get up and try again

Chorus

when You called my name

I didn't know how far the calling went

when You called my name

I didn't know what that word really meant

when I recall Your call

I feel

so small

Lord, what did you see

when you called out for me?

I start losing heart

and then

it comes again

lifted from despair

by the prayers of someone

lifted form despair

by the prayers of someone

- Chorus -
