Here I am

Called to a life of service,
Called to bear fruit that will last,
Called to bring healing,
Called to proclaim the gospel,
I respond: Here I am.

Whether I am called as a child like Samuel was,
Or have a dramatic encounter like Paul,
Or no one knows my conversion story,
Or someone's life touched me like the jailer,
I respond: I am the servant of the LORD.

Whether I have to go through water,
Or I have to go through fire,
Or I have to keep going when I would rather not,
Or I have to give my life,
I respond: let it be done to me according to your word.

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!
