THE CALLING

[Intro – Choir + Voice]
CALLING…
You hear that?
That’s not noise…
That’s purpose.

⸻

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I was lost in the rhythm of a world that fades,
Chasing validation, tryna count my days.
Had everything loud but my soul felt mute,
Truth right there but I dodged the proof.

Late nights, screen light, drowning in distraction,
Heart felt heavy but I masked the reaction.
Still small voice cutting through the lies,
Telling me it’s more than the life I idolize.

I ain’t see it clear, I was moving too fast,
Running from conviction, haunted by my past.
But grace don’t wait till you clean your name,
It meets you right there, calls you just the same.

Now I’m looking at my life like it’s deeper than breath,
Every step got meaning, even life after death.

⸻

[Hook – Choir + Punch]
I hear the calling (CALLING!)
I can’t ignore it (NO!)
He knew my name before I knew my story.

I hear the calling (CALLING!)
I’m turning back now,
From the wide road to the covenant path now.

⸻

[Verse 2]
Scriptures on my mind but my habits still fight,
Trying to live truth in a world full of hype.
They don’t get change when it cost your old ways,
When you trade short wins for eternal days.

I felt that pull like “come walk with Me,”
Not forced, just love with authority.
Agency mine but the choice got weight,
Every wrong turn still led me to grace.

Baptism water but the fire inside,
Changed how I move, changed how I decide.
This ain’t surface, this alignment deep,
Now I plant truth in the life I keep.

⸻

[Hook – Bigger]
I hear the calling (CALLING!)
I can’t ignore it (NO!)
He knew my name before I knew my story.

I hear the calling (CALLING!)
I’m turning back now,
From the wide road to the covenant path now.

⸻

[Bridge – Raw Prayer Tone]
Lord…
You called me when I was running…
I’m here now…
Use me.

⸻

[Outro – Choir Fade]
CALLING…
Walk the path…
