The Calling
by Stormie Omartian

Album: Main Stream

He comes to you in silence, like a sunrise in your heart,
Reflecting on the sea of your own making.
He offers in His hand the distant shore of all your dreams,
And says the gift is yours for the taking.
He lifts you to the mountaintop and shows you where you'll stand,
The prospects leave you breathless for the vision is so grand.
Your time of faithful seeking has been rewarded by His voice,
And you know - you know that you've already made the choice.

For He calls you from the shadows,
And He calls you out by name.
And instead you know your weary heart,
Will never be the same - never be the same.

The hopes you kept in hiding, well kept secrets of the mind,
Desires you've buried deep like a treasure.
He shows you how he planted them til there might come a time,
They'd be released to grow for His good pleasure.
Not a simple minded freedom to neglect the things at hand,
But a soul assuring confidence in knowing where you stand.
A special royal summons to become what you're to be,
And you know - you know that you can trust in what you see.

For He calls you from the shadows,
And He calls you out by name.
And instead you know your weary heart,
Will never be the same - never be the same,
Never be the same.

He calls you to perfection, moving one day at a time,
But it will never be of your own striving.
It's His perfection working in you as He's given place,
A life that wants for more than just surviving.
It won't be your star rising in a world that's torn apart,
It's going to be the Morning Star that rises in your heart.
You trust him to accomplish in the way that He sees best,
And you know - you know that you have found your place of rest.

For He calls you from the shadows,
And He calls you out by name.
And instead you know your weary heart,
Will never be the same - never be the same,
Never be the same.
