And Calls us to His Side

"Oh, what’s the use?” 
I ask God while I'm praying
Since you know the way 
That things must be
Then in quiet I listen 
For an answer from 
The one who gave Himself for me

For once He prayed till sweat Flowed like blood drops
Through the night, with sorrows 
He was tossed
Then He surrendered all that 
He had wished for
Our lives to save 
And for our sin’s full cost

And then as dawn 
Had still not fully wakened
On the third day 
Before the sun was bright
The tomb was opened 
So we could see inside that
He is alive 
And calls us to His side!

But as I rav'd and grew more fierce and wilde - At every word,
Me thoughts I heard one calling, Child! - And I reply'd, My Lord.
