When You Called My Name

Peter Furler / Steve Taylor

I want to preach the word
They want massages
I check chapter and verse
They check their watches
I spy another yawn
I might as well be gone
Let's stand and say: Amen

Some days I must admit
I still don't get this
Could be it's time to quit
When days get like this
I slip into the night
Then stumble towards the light
Wake up and try again

When you called my name
I didn't know how far the calling went
When you called my name
I didn't know what that word really meant
When I recall your call
I feel
So small

Could be I'm losing touch
Could be they don't care
Lord knows I don't know much
Lord knows I've been there
I trip toward my retreat
I fall down at your feet
Get up and try again

When you called my name
I didn't know how far the calling went
When you called my name
I didn't know what that word really meant
When I recall your call
I feel
So small
Lord, what did you see
When you called out for me?

I start losing heart
And then
It comes again
Lifted from despair
By the prayers of someone
Lifted from despair
By the prayers of someone
