In which I first heard your call
My thoughts go back to a night long ago
And a song… called El Shaddai.
Its words filtered through my mind
And I could not hold back my tears
I think my heart knew even then
That to You it would consign.
Though it took years to find the door
And the path of Your will for me
With each step You brought me closer
Until I searched for truth no more.
In looking back I see
At least I think I understand…
Just why it took me so long
To fully grasp Your loving hand.
A calling that came through song
And some years spent on a quest
Before I could learn what was right
I had to experience what was wrong.
As I ponder this thought further still
It’s the same for all of Your creation
A lesson involving time to learn
And alignment to Your will.
To know You is to love all that You are
And to want to know much more
To know You such a blessing
You…who hung the stars.
