The Call of God

Good Shepherd Sunday , 21/4/13 Jn 10:27-30, Acts 13:14.43-52, Ps 100, Rev 7:9.14-17


He calls! He calls!
When you’re sitting your somewhere thinking about yourself
He calls; in the daily events of life
He calls; when you think you’re too young
He calls; when you’re taking care of sheep and have been forgotten by your family
He calls; when you’re searching for your father’s missing mules
He calls; when you’ve sacrificed to Him
He calls; when you’re busy about your work
He calls; even when you’re a priest
He calls; when you’re a highly influential man serving the king
He calls; when you’re a pagan-through your mother-in-law
He calls; when you’re an exile in a foreign land
He calls; when you’re a prostitute in a big city
He calls; through your dreams
He calls; when you’re taking care of your father in law’s sheep
He calls; when you’re stting in your office
He calls; when you’re fishing
He calls; He calls; he calls
Answer Him now when He calls you by name!

The Good Shepherd calls you; can you not hear Him?
He reaches for you; beloved sheep of His
Come to me! He calls. I long for you
Come, sheep, to the life I have called you to.
Hear my voice and obey it; you who are mine
I call you! To live eternity in everyday, powerfully, awaiting that final victory where we’ll be together forever
I call you! To proclaim my word daily; in word and deed; to proclaim my kingdom and righteousness
I call you! Hear my voice; rest in me
I call you! My sheep, who hear my voice
Still you soul; hear my voice
I call you!
