Still Thankful for My Call
I can still remember as I sat and read God’s Word
His CALL to be an evangelist, clearer than I’d ever heard.
I walked through the doors God opened; didn’t kick any doors down.
I’d pack my suitcase, kiss Vickie goodbye, and preach from town-to-town.
I remember many airports and several highway miles.
I recall many kind churches and pastors with friendly smiles.
There’ve been lonely economy hotels and “fast-food” along the way.
But the price has been worth it all, when they came to the altar to pray.
I’d stand and open my Bible, and preach the best I could.
And the Holy Spirit applied God’s Word, just like He said He would.
I’ve watched them stand up from the altar, committed to do their best,
To love the Lord with all their heart and pursue true holiness.
Someday I’ll empty my suitcase and carry it down the hall;
Reflecting on the revivals’ past, still thankful for my CALL.
And when I get to Heaven and search the crowd that’s there
I’ll find folks from the revivals who came to the altar for prayer.
