I Heard Jesus Call My Name
I Heard Jesus Call My Name…
I heard Jesus call my name just the other day.
I told him. “Not now!” “Just go away!”
It was his voice. It was clear and imminent.
I was just “too busy”.
This was evident!
Why should I care? Why should I listen?
There’s too many things,
I don’t want to be missin’!
I know that he is near me.. His voice beckons…
Obeying his voice is an important lesson!
It’s so difficult for me to trust and obey.
I’m “preoccupied” twenty four hours a day!
This life I have. I know that God has given.
I haven’t included him in,
the way I’ve been livin’!
Perhaps I’ll do it tomorrow. Some other time.
Maybe he’ll call another name. And not mine!
God realizes the mess that I’ve gotten myself in.
“Some other day,” I’ll try calling for him.
I know that he loves me
and wants the very best.
If I answer his voice.
My life will be blessed!
I’ve changed my mind! Lord… Here I am!
Please take my life and take my hand!
I’ll do what you ask.
I’ll listen to your voice.
This is the best decision.
This is the best choice!
Thank you Lord for being
so patient and kind!
For you're my beloved and you're mine!
