I heard my name called softly,
And I ran to my front door,
I also looked in every room,
This mystery to explore.
The next time I was taken to task,
For a message did ensue,
With baited breath I did ask,
"Is it you, Lord, is it you?"
I had to question with reservation,
For on the truth I must rely,
So I inquired without hesitation,
"Is it I, Lord, is it I?"
"What is it, what can I do,
What do you want with me?"
"If you listen, I will tell you,"
He said so quietly.
So I caught my breath, He was so kind,
His instrument I wished to be,
"Use me, Lord," came to mind,
Your will let me foresee.
"Tell all who will listen who I am,
Why I hung upon the tree,
I am the Good News their hearts yearn for,
Their salvation is through me."
