Song link -- I heard You call my name

I heard You call my name

D                                       G                         A                          D                    

I heard You call my name       and I turned to find You standing there

                                                 G              A                             D            G

and through the tears that came I gazed upon Your form as much as I dared

Em                     A                           G             A

then I pledged to follow You       to love and obey

         D                 G                  D            G                        Em                D

and I don’t know how       this faithless world        keeps getting in my way

D                                       G                          A                          D                    

I heard You call my name      and I spied You there among the crowd

                                         G                  A                         D        G

when Your eyes met mine I could not help but cry Your name aloud

Em                             A                  G                   A

so many strangers between us        getting in my way

         D                 G                  D            G                            Em                D

and I don’t know how        this faithless world            keeps leading me astray

G A                   D         G                     A            D

O my time will come.  One day those veils will part. 

G                      A                  D           G

You’ll call my name, You’ll call my name

              Em                                     A

and I’ll answer You with all of my heart

G A                   D          G                     A            D

O my time will come.  One day you’ll give the Word

G                   A                          D                G

and I’ll leave everything, O I’ll leave everything

    Em                                        D

to follow You, follow You, my Lord

D                                       G                 A                 D                    

I heard You call my name        standing atop a distant hill

                                  G                 A                                   D         G

and I ran to meet You but when I looked again You were farther still

Em                   A                            G                    A

and I longed to follow You     and leave straightaway

               D                 G           D            G                 Em                D    G

(1) and I don’t know how this faithless world keeps leading me astray

         D                 G          D            G                  Em                D     G

(2) I don’t know how this heartless world keeps getting in my way (repeat 1)
