The Call

I was alone and lost

When first I heard Him call.

It came as from a distance,

The call – “Come follow me.”

Still alone was I

When next He called;

Closer to me was the voice

That said – “Come follow me.”

Again I heard the voice

That cried – “Come follow me.”

I looked to see who called

And saw the Christ of Calvary.

Alone no more, I follow

The One who owns the voice

That called to me so often

And said – “Come follow me.”
