I Call Your Name Lord

From the very first time that I met you

couldn't believe you took the world off my shoulder

so quickly stood me on my feet

and there was that fragrance of your sweet peace

and the calm that I had

I knew it was a touch from your right hand

you gave me a new name and you changed my voice

and said daughter will you sing my word you have a choice

will it be me or will you try to please friends and family with money

thats when I raised my hands towards heaven and said

I call your name Lord

I call your name Jesus (Lord I'm standing here today and I'm calling your name)

I call your name Lord

I call your name Jesus

Like a light turning on in a dark room

thats how it was when I first met you

I must admit it hasnt been easy for me

satan desires to sift me as wheat wheat wheat

I once was young now im just a little bit older

and i've watched the world grown colder and colder

but the righteous they wont be forsaken

i've never seen it and God wont ever do it

this one thing I know

if you make your house his home

you'll feel his spirit shut up in your bones

Lord im calling on you for the souls that were lost

because somebody represented you in the wrong way

Lord im calling on you for the souls that were lost

because some child watched mama go from pilar to post

I'm calling on you for the souls that were lost

because papa was a rolling stone from bed to bed

Lord im calling on you for the souls that were lost

because right now somebody's contemplating suicide

Jesus oh Jesus

I call your name

Jesus oh Lord

Lord I call your name

Oh Jesus

Lord I'm standing here today and I'm calling your name

for those that are lost and can't find their way home
