I Turned Away - Re-Posted

I heard You calling me one dawn,
But I just turned away.
Where You were asking me to go
Was far out of my way.
 
I heard You calling me one noon,
But I just turned away.
I had my heart set just on me
And I was off to play.
 
I heard You calling me one dusk,
But I just 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.

I realized that my hard head
Had led my heart astray.
Yet, even though I'd tuned from You,
You loved me anyway. 

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?
