Called By Name

Before He dreamed us into being

Before He saved us from the grave

Before the first breath we were given

We were called by name

Before the first slip led to stumbling

Before darkness, before shame

Before sin required forgiving

We were called by name

Called from dust, called from ashes into joy and peace

Called to life, everlasting far from fear and grief

And there's a table, with a seat that's waiting for you

And there's a river, that's flowing deep and wide

And there's a choir, with your voice among the angels

Singing hallelujah to the Lord Most High

Without payment or performance

Without work and without games

Called as children to a father

We are called by name

None to dirty or too distant

We are welcomed all the same

Come and rest here by the water

You are called by name

Called from dust, called from ashes into joy and peace

Called to life everlasting, far from fear and grief

There's a table, with a seat that's waiting for you

And there's a river, that's flowing deep and wide

And there's a choir, with your voice among the angels

Singing hallelujah to the Lord Most High

Don't you worry, precious child

Come to me and be satisfied

Don't you worry, precious child

Come to me and be satisfied, oh

Don't you worry, precious child

Come to me and be satisfied

And there's a table, with a seat that's waiting for you

And there's a river, that's flowing deep and wide

And there's a choir, with your voice among the angels

Singing hallelujah to the Lord Most High
