Did You Call Me?

Did You call out to me, Oh Lord?

Was that You that I heard?
I thought that it might be the wind
Or just a passing bird.
 
I wasn’t quite sure what to think,
But yet I understood
That there was no harm in the words,
They were meant for my good.
 
The words were soft, but still I heard
“Rise up and follow me”.
Yet I could not be sure those words
Were truly meant for me.
 
For I have not lived perfectly,
Indeed I’ve not come near.
Surely You would not call to me,
And yet Your words were clear.
 
But if You truly meant me, Lord,
Despite my broken past,
Then I will rise and follow You.
I’m grateful to be asked.

Matthew 10:38

Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
