Calling

Wendy Rice

The Lord is calling.
Come to the shelter.
I am your rock.
I am your safe place.

The Lord is calling.
Can you hear?
Do not ignore.

The Lord is calling.
I am your compass.
Follow my lead.
I will direct.
You are not lost.
but found in me.

I am calling.
You will not sink.
I am your net.

Seek me and be free.
