When You Call
by Barbara Philbrook

When you call He hears your plea,
and enters your heart for eternity.

You can never drive Him away,
once He enters he's there to stay.

You may refuse His guiding direction,
He still loves you despite your rejection.

No matter what span of time passes by,
Jesus is in your heart till you die.

Working diligently from within,
turning your desires away from sin.

Creating a brand new heart in you,
just as the Holy Word says He'll do.

Of all who call none are forsaken,
the gift of salvation is ours for the taking.

You will then desire to spread the word,
to all the others who haven't yet heard.

You'll reach out to all not yet saved,
from the minor sinner to the deeply depraved.

Offering to each a thread of hope,
much like tossing a drowning man a rope.

When you call you will be heard,
we have this assurance in God's Holy Word.
