Artist/Band: Ricky Skaggs
Lyrics for Song: I Hear a Voice Calling
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Ricky Skaggs



Chorus:

I hear a voice calling

It must be our Lord,

It must be,

It must be our Lord.



It's coming from heaven on high

I hear a voice calling,

I've gained the reward

I've gained, I've gained the reward.



For the land where we never shall die

The savior has paid

A great price for me

He gave his life on Calvary.



So I follow his footsteps

Up the narrow way

And be ready to meet him

When he comes on that day.



Chorus:

He died on the cross

The old rugged cross

That we would be saved

From sin and not lost.



So I follow his footsteps

Up the narrow way

That'll pay our debts

On that great judgment day.



Chorus:

He died on the cross

The old rugged cross

That we would be saved

From sin and not lost.
