When He Calls



Words and music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan



In a land far away

A little boy lay

Asleep in his bed

Then he heard a voice call

There was no doubt at all

He knew just what it said



He had heard it before

And he could not ignore

What he thought

Was too good to be true

For the words of a wise man

Had opened his eyes

And he knew what he needed to do



CHORUS:

When He calls

When He calls

Just say, Lord, I am listening

When He calls

When He calls

Just be ready to obey

For there's no greater joy

Than hearing Him call your name



Well, the little boy's gone

But life still goes on

Day after day

And if God spoke back then

He can do it again

In a nuclear age



Have you heard it before

And just chose to ignore

What your mind thought

Was only a dream

If He's speaking to you

This is what you should do

And it's not quite

As strange as it seems



CHORUS (repeat)
