Lyrics

I Heard You Calling My Name

Written by: Lisa Courtney, BMI Songwriter
September, 2005

When I was just a child
I played my childish games for a little while
But I knew it was a matter of time
Before I left that all behind.

When I was just a youth
I sang and danced, and took life for a whirl
But I knew that it would come to pass
That it was never meant to last.

Chorus:

I heard you calling my name?
I knew that life would never be the same.
You?ve always been so good to me.
I?m on my knees in praise of thee
Cause I heard you calling
Calling my name.

2nd Verse:

When duty called I said I would
Help the blind and lame all in your name
On Calvary you paid the price
That I might have eternal life.

Chorus:

I heard you calling my name
I knew that life would never be the same
I?ll never turn my back on you
All I have I give to you..
Cause I heard you calling
Calling my name.

Bridge:

I didn?t know the time or place
But I knew you?d call on me
I knew that you would ask me to
Use the talents you gave me
Tag:

I heard you calling for me?
Calling my name
My name!
