I Heard You Call

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I heard you calling me one dawn,

But I turned away.
What you were asking me to do
Was far out of my way.
 
I heard you calling me one noon,
But I turned away.
I had my heart set somewhere else
And I was off to play.
 
I heard you calling me one dusk,
But I turned away,
For you expected more of me
Than I would give that day.
 
Then in the darkness of the night,
When all my fears held sway,
I called to you through anguished tears.
You did not turn away.
 
So now I rise with each new dawn
And listen, while I pray,
To hear your voice calling to me.
I smile and turn your way.
 
Romans 2:4
Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
