All around me there are voices
That clamor for my ear;
Some are loud and others are soft,
But they’re all saying to me, "Stop, and do draw near.”
Sometimes they promise riches;
Other times they allure with fame.
And they tell me that by following them
I might get an important name.
But, sadly, such is not the case
With any worldly call...
For eventually they’ll fade from view
And not be there...no not at all!
That’s why we need to listen
To the Voice of God from on high...
For it’s only when He’s calling
That we feel we can draw nigh.
We know that we are special
And He’s got a special plan;
But we’ll never be able to experience it,
If we don’t take Him by the hand.
With words that are so simple
And filled with such great love,
The God of the universe is calling
Saying, “I’ll lead you from above.
"I know the plans I have for you—
Far greater than you can dream;
Come now and join Me in the task,
Of sharing that ‘Love’ is my theme.”
So, what will it be dear Pilgrim?
"Who me? No, this can’t be.”
Or will you say with all your heart,
"Yes, here am I, O Lord. Send me.”
