His Gentle Call Lyrics

There's all these things I want

And all these things that hold my thoughts

And even though I know they're not what matters

I still find myself chasing after

Yet, all the while there stands my Savior

He's reaching out with something better

And when I turn away, I hear Him calling after

I laid down my life for you

Laid it down for you

I've sent messages of love for you

Words of life and hope and love for you

To guide your steps and bring you through

There's all these things I thought I want

And all these things that held my thoughts

But next to Him I know they just don't matter

I now find myself chasing after

The One who's love is so much better

Then anything this world can offer

How can I turn from Him who's gently calling after

I laid down my life for you

Laid it down for you

I've sent messages of love for you

Words of life and hope and love for you

To guide your steps and bring you through

How can we turn our backs on Jesus

When He's reaching out His hand to save us

O listen close, my friend

You'll hear Him gently calling

I laid down my life for you

Laid it down for you

I've sent messages of love for you

Words of life and hope and love for you

To guide your steps and bring you through

I gave everything I had for you

Gave it up for you

I have loved you every moment

Shown in every blessing I have sent

I gave everything for you
