Calling My Name
Hezekiah Walker · The Essential 3.0 Hezekiah Walker [2010]
How many times do I go against Your will
then You forgive me
but yet I still turn around and do the things
the things I shouldn't do
cuz I belong to You
and I know You will come through
Lord I know I take advantage of Your grace
here in this christian race
but yet I still hear You calling my name
solo:
How many times, would it take for me to learn
that it's only in Your will that I'll ever earn
I'll ever earn my life's reward
the honor due to me oh
life eternally
riches in glory
Lord I know, I know I don't belong
with You cuz I've done wrong
oh but yet I still hear You calling my name
solo ad libs as choir follows:
You're calling my name to come into Your arms
to be safe from fear and harm
knowing this but I still choose to go my way
then You still say, You say that I am He
who will supply your every need
oh Lord I've sinned but You're still calling my name
(3x's)
oh Lord I've sinned but You're still calling my name
(4x's)
