Christian Poetry: 'Calling Out'

I put a bit of a twist on this lyric as I present hypothetical remarks from the Lord. Sometimes we may question whether God hears our cry, but what if God is conversely questioning whether we hear His? What if He is calling out to us, wanting to fellowship with us, and all we do is present our list of wants as if communicating with Santa Claus and then say "amen"? I pray that this composition gives us food for thought about the need to listen and not only speak.

I know sometimes you wonder

If your cry reaches Me at all

You question if my ears listen

To your heart's desperation call

Well, let me assure you now

That every time I do

But did you know sometimes I ask

The same question about you?

Night and day

I'm calling out

Calling out to you

Hoping that you too will grant what I ask

But you make your requests and run off so fast

Oh, when will my voice break through at last

I'm calling out

Calling out to you

I'd like to share My secrets

I'd like to tell you of My dreams

How I'd love to reveal to you

Some extraordinary things

I'm making waves of glory

How I want you to ride that wave

How can you know where I'm going

If you cannot hear what I say?

Night and day

I'm calling out

Calling out to you

Hoping that you too will grant what I ask

But you make your requests and run off so fast

Oh, when will my voice break through at last

I'm calling out

Calling out to you
