Answering God's Call
So few have really tested what the Lord can do through them
And fewer still have have known the power of grace that flows from Him
They think that Bible study with a prayer or two will do
Not knowing of the power of God that's there for me and you
That power that's so infinite no mind can comprehend
From One with no beginning and is sure to have no end
Who by a Word established all the things that now exist
Though endless by their nature in God's mind not one is missed
For truly we can't fathom for one moment Who He is
Though why in His compassion He preserved a world like this
But more than preservation He's ordained that we might be
Reflective of His character throughout eternity
But first we need to know Him first we need to take His hand
And by His grace through living faith begin to understand
How limitless His presence is His knowledge and His strength
And how His selfless love reveals His will and any length
It needs to go to show us we have never been alone
And even though we've run from Him at times out on our own
When needed and acknowledged He's been right there by our side
To be our great Physician Holy Comforter and Guide
And also to create in us a heart that's pure and true
A channel for His Spirit to do all that He can do
To reach the world now dying with the hope of life again
When Christ returns in glory and destroys the blight of sin
That has for many centuries denied His will for us
Denied the opportunity to live through us His trust
To show the whole great universe how God can live in men
When He through us reveals His power that overcomes all sin
And reaches back toward heaven where the King of glory stands
Where all unfallen entities await their Lord's command
And relish in the beauty of His love that flows through them
Deriving greatest pleasure through their daily walk with Him
A walk that's our for having though not seen by mortal eyes
Until that day that's coming when the saints to glory rise
And find there what they've always known since first they gave their all
The physical reality from answering God's call
Deuteronomy 5:31-33; 10:12-14; Joshua 22:5; 1 Kings 8:23, 61; Matthew 22:21-22
