He Calls To Me


He calls to me in haunting words
Revealed in rhythmic poetry
And in the stars so late at night
Placed on display for me to see

He calls to me in open skies
Where clouds are laced in fields of blue
And from the depths of misty dreams
He speaks to me in words so true

He calls to me in sunset’s hour
As weary day succumbs to night
And in the early morning hour
I hear Him with the dawns first light

He calls to me in autumn’s foliage
Donned in hues of brown and red
And every word my ears hear spoken
Reminds me of the things He’s said

He calls to me in distant thunder
When rain drops fall to quench the earth
And in the wail of newborn babies
Crying shortly after birth

He calls to me in oceans waves
Crashing gently on the shore
And in the quest of hidden secrets
Locked behind each waiting door

He calls to me in precious hymns
Sung by choirs everywhere
And even now I hear His voice
Reminding me He’s always there

He calls to me in quiet whispers
Here in the church, I see his face
He speaks to me, Do you hear Him calling?
As on bended knee, I find his grace



~ Ruth

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Ruth... you are so right. The Lord calls to us from everything in His creation. This earth, His word, and His sacrifice are all testiments to how much He loves us. Your verse is also a reflection of His power... thank you for sharing.

Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us.
