The Call of the Father

The Call of the Father

The Father gently calls each heart to Him

The forsaken, weary, lonely, sad, and broken And offers healing, life, and hope To each who will reach out to Him Come to me, O thirsty soul The waters I give are rich and full For life is found abundantly When drinking from my living stream Open up your wandering heart And search no more among the thorny way For I have given my Son for you An offering for sin and seed of life Open your eyes to see the Love The heavenly Father has in store No thought imagined nor eye have seen The wondrous gift of love bestowed The call is gently reaching out To each who calls this earth their home And with it comes the call of hope And offer of eternal life I will be your Father And you will be my child I will implant my life in you And give you peace within each storm. Learn of my way It is the way of life And follow my path Of truth, mercy, love, joy, and peace. If life is found in reaching out Why linger on the path of woe For I have offered you my life And will create in you a heart like mine.
