Your Calling is Calling

He’s chosen you, child; you were hand-picked by Him.

Posted on

Walking in comfort for many a day
Has been His will as you’ve walked in His ways,
But He’s blowing the winds and the waves by the sea
And causing discomfort with no guarantee.

Oh, He’s stirring you up with new focus in view
‘Cause He has a new work and a calling on you.
For out in the distance from the land and the shore,
Peers a mountaintop range no one can ignore.

He now says it’s time; you are ready for more.
You were born to fly and not stay on the shore.
Your purpose is clear, for this is the year
To soar like an eagle so give Him your fears.

He’s causing discomfort so you’ll leave the nest—
So you will trust Him and believe He knows best.
He’s chosen you, child; you were hand-picked by Him.
For now is the time
To come soar on the wind!

Oh, the Ancient of Days
Has planned out your ways
And His glory will rest and shine upon you
As you leave all behind and come follow the new!

 

“Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.” Isaiah 40:31

“Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet, but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14
