The people are being called
And all I have done is sit down and bawled
You see they are being called by God
To follow the sheep and carry the rod
I know that we are here on loan
This isn’t really our permanent home
I know that God has been calling our home
But I refuse to answer the phone
I beg for just a little more time
Please don’t be mad and cut our line
You have to understand that I
Am building a memory box six feet high
If you can let me do this first
I will wipe your feet and quench your thirst
I know dear Lord I call out to you
There are so many things I want from you
I have tried to do things on my own
But I guess I have to give up my stubborn bone
So I come to you just one more time
And ask you to put Al at the end of the line.

You did a great job at emphasising the need and want to ‘call out’ and to be listened. Thanks for contributing this week to Picture it & write, Terry. 🙂

Heartfelt and expressive, Terry — it is so difficult to watch someone you love dearly suffer, but at the same time it is so hard to let them go. You included a great video — i have always loved Ann Murray’s beautiful voice, and pairing it with the slide presentation of Jesus welcoming us home was wonderful!
