He Called, I Came

Black Latin

Compositor: Brinkley

It's a complicated way to say that after everything I had done
I want to live this thing all over again and play by the love of his son

There was a road I was walking on
I heard some people looking round and saw them with mistletoe
I thought it to wonder, was it one cloud up in the sky?
The Sun was shining but there was another light that
I saw that was blinding I heard my name called, looked around, no one at all
But then my sight forgot, so I paused to wait a while
I heard my name again, this time it was for good

It's a complicated way to say that after everything I had done

Could it be, a man like me who's got no conviction?
Being called by the devil, leaving services written
Tried to fight it, when he told me I was born for this mission
I consider leaving here when this is non-believer or Christian
Undeterred and so I fucked up with the way I was learning
But the feeling in my heart started aching and burning
It was a cleansing of my soul from that consummate fire
That had me yelling holy, holy, praise his name on high

He called, I came from this grace his name
Blessed everything I had done
I want to live and sing, all over again and save
By the love of his son
He called, I came from this grace his name
Blessed everything I had done
I want to live and sing, all over again and save
By the love of his son

He said for me to go and preach I said
I'm scared, he said you sneak, I'll be the one to teach I said go where?
He said go out into the unknown
Stand low and behold, I will be what you just repeat what you told
I am giving you a gift and in the past you abused it
You've been living lives where you were so used to when you used it
You must live for this world when you're living the spirit
So I will get the words to say it, then the people they hear it
But if they hate it's not for you to judge what I am commanding
But Lord I doubt it's not for you to lean on your understanding
But Lord I doubt I understand it, you may have all your doubts
But it is I who gave man hearing, I who gave man his mouth
You may face many unbelievers cause they know how you work
They remember all your lying, cheating, stealing and drugs
That's why I'm choosing you so you can stand and be as my witness
You may go through many trials but know my grace is sufficient
See I'm going to send you out like a sheep among wolves
Many hurts you may encounter, many pains you'll endure
Therefore be shrewd as a snake and as pure as the dove
All men will hate because of me but in return show my love

He called, I came, tell me praises his name
And that's everything I had done
I want to live this thing now, born again
Saved by the love of his son
He called, I came, tell me praises his name
And that's everything I had done
I want to live this thing now, born again
Saved by the love of his son

I was converted by the Holy Spirit
He took me out in the world and told me not to fear it
I asked him where do I go, he said you're on the spirit
I asked him how will I know, he said for sure you'll hear it
Then I was there around the dealers, the users, the killers
The demons, the wicked, the greedy, the tired, the sneaks
The hungry, the sick and others who were in need
Who wanted someone to love and others just to believe
He said these are the ones I chose to be my disciples
And the reason why I'm sending you because you would like them
You can understand their anger as you see all their pain
And before I called you to me you were still in the same
See I need you to go tell them that there's someone who loves me
They can't find it in the world because that love is above me
Tell them they can't take care of me, all the habits I break up
I never know, I never leave, I know I'm never forsaken

He called, I came, tell me praises his name
And that's everything I had done
I want to live this thing now, born again
Saved by the love of his son
He called, I came, tell me praises his name
And that's everything I had done
I want to live this thing now, born again
Saved by the love of his son
