   "When Jesus Called " 

 

Jesus I am really well-  

I trust in you and want to tell you  

I still love you with all my heart  

I'd love to talk.  

The late evenings draw so near, 

I know that you are present here.

Take my hand, don't let it go,

With you I'll walk

Then there along the way,

 as the sunset closes day,

Somehow I felt your kiss upon my brow,

Like the moonlight that you spill

On my pillow, soft and still.

With your help I'll get along, I know, somehow.

Yes, I know your tears are rain

When you dried them once again

You whisper to me, in the trees and flowers,

For when the birds do sing

You gave me everything and  still by my side,

Watching over me for hours.

If sunshine is my clothes, your love indeed it shows

Is bigger than any want, or need I yearn

It's only then that I will know that you

still love me so

I'm not worthy of it all as yet but earned.

Or of the gifts that you have gave

For the soul you tried to save

It's only that you called to free me from sin

So when you knock upon my door

I won't close it any more

 I'll  take your hand, make you welcome 

And let you in.
