The Calling

Every hand lifted high
As the silence begins to fall
And I softly hear worship begin to rise
I feel your spirit pass me by
I hear your voice begin to call
Drawing me as my broken spirit cries
Today is more than just another day
In the quiet, I can hear you gently saying

Come to me now 
Don’t waste another day 
As my presence fills the room
Don’t let it slip away
Let me show you what it’s like 
To lay your burdens down
I’ve been waiting for this moment all your life
Come to me now

But I have been here before
And I begin to recall
The times that I’ve rejected your forgiveness
I’ve stood at the door
But time and time again I fall
to the doubt, the lies, a slave to bitterness
There’s times that I’ve even questioned if you were real
But in this moment, right here, right now, I know what I feel 

Come to me now 
Don’t waste another day 
As my presence fills the room
Don’t let it slip away
Let me show you what it’s like 
To lay your burdens down
I’ve been waiting for this moment all your life
Come to me now

He changed my heart completely 
My old life, a memory 
He gave me hope and peace I’ve never known 
He washed away all my sins
Forever I will worship him
Because of him, I’ll never walk alone 
And you can’t tell me he’s not alive 
He’s brought me through the darkest night 
He’s here and working miracles right now 
I’ve seen addictions broken, the sick be healed 
Every promise made, he has fulfilled 
His word is real, and has never let me down
Since that fateful day, I’ve never been the same 
And he’s calling you, waiting for you to say

Lord, I’m ready for you now 
I won’t waste another day
I feel your presence in the room 
I don’t want to leave the same 
I want to know what it’s like
To lay my burdens down
I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life

Every hand lifted high
As the silence begins to fall
And I softly hear worship begin to rise 

Praise and worship, piano, no drums, soft, slow
