I have the number of the King,
Access at any hour,
No matter heaven's time zone
He's ready to empower.
Available to listen,
No switchboard blocks my call,
So willing, even eager,
When I'm against a wall.
His line is never busy
Though millions call His name,
It's all in the relationship...
His child, my call to fame.
My calls don't go to “voice mail”,
Postponed or never checked,
In fact, He stands by waiting
So eager to connect.
I've often left Him hanging
Wond'ring why I don't “phone”,
What makes me think I can succeed
Or manage on my own?
But when I realize my need,
He ne'er hangs up on me,
He listens 'til my voice wears out
And hears my every plea.
He's never shocked, He knows it all
Before the words I voice,
But never makes of me demands,
He's given me free choice.
I don't know why I wait to “phone”
When His love welcomes me,
It costs me nothing but my time,
No long distance fee.
Communication with the King,
The One who loves me best,
Translated by the Holy Ghost
Who knows my heart's request.
There is no higher privilege
To walk and talk with God,
The One who welcomes all my calls
Though I am stained and flawed.
