When deep calls

When the call sounds
It's deep and it's wild
It's a call that whispers
It's a call that resounds

It's an offer of mercy
It's the free gift of grace
It's the joy of forgiveness
And a glimpse of His face

When that call sounds
My heart echoes and it cries
It leaps at the timbre
And all else it denies

For to be near You is my "most"
It's the "all" of my heart
It's colour and meaning and life and... it's breath
God, keep me close - I could never live apart.


"Deep calls to deep. All your waves have gone over me..."
"Set me as a seal upon your arm, upon your heart. For love is stronger than death..." Song of Songs
