Lyrics Hoku – 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

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

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
