Call Me Away

Description

All believers should be able to identify with the heart cry of this song. Have you ever felt like your mind was spinning amidst a thousand thoughts? When you retire to your prayer closet do you find it hard to suppress the onslaught of worries that constantly barrage your mind? The long list of to dos and responsibilities you have each day? Take heart believer, that the Lord is able to conquer even your craziness and replace it with a peace that surpasses comprehension (Philippians 4:7) . God has the power to draw us away from ourselves to Himself with one sovereign word. That is the essence of true worship - turning away from our preoccupation with self.

Lyrics

(Show Original Wordings)

Father, oh please don't let me be / My God, permit me not to be
Focused alone on things I see; / A stranger to myself and Thee;
Amidst a thousand thoughts I spin, / Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove,
Forgetting my true love again. / Forgetful of my highest love.

Chorus: / Chorus:
So call me away, call me away from all my cares, / Call me away from flesh and sense;
One sovereign word, one sovereign word will draw me there, / One sovereign word will draw me thence;
Call me away, call me away to Yourself. / (new)

Why should my passions mix with earth,
And thus debase my heavenly birth?
Why should I cleave to things below,
And let my God, my Savior go?

Let earth with all her noise depart / Be earth with all her scenes withdrawn;
And drive these worries from my heart. / Let noise and vanity be gone;
In secret silence of the mind
True peace and boundless joy I'll find. / My heaven, and there my God, I find.
