Long ago, you called my name.
You appeared to me
Amidst spiritual pain.
I was alone and without guidance.
My heart was full of sorrow.
I did not want to look ahead,
To look forward to tomorrow.
But when you called me,
I listened.
On that day, I heard your voice.
To my soul, your sweet words
Brought strength and lasting joy.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Wherever I may be.
You are always nearby
To let me know
That you will stand by me
Faithfully.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Your goodness you let me taste.
To be in your Word,
Your Peace,
Your Presence
Is to be in your ring of grace.
