Call My Name

I had an eye appointment today.
I really didn't want to go.
But God spoke to me in a way
I never antisipated.

As I sat in a chair
Waiting for them to call my name
I saw everyone else there
In a different way then ever before

I heard Him say,
What would they do differently,
If they knew I was coming back today?
What would they do?

I heard Him share,
How different would they feel
If they knew how much I truely care?
How would they feel?

I heard Him whisper,
How would they act
If they knew life is really just a blur?
How would they act?

I heard Him ask,
How much more would they love
if they knew Jesus came do complete one task?
How much more would they love?

Then I heard something new
Something beautiful,
Something true.
It got me to think.

I heard Him say,
What would you do differently
If you knew I was coming back today?
What would you do?

I heard Him share,
How different would you feel
If you knew how much I truely care
What would you do?

I heard Him whisper,
How would you act
If you knew life is just a blur?
How would you act?

I heard Him ask,
How much more would you love
If you knew Jesus came to complete one task?
How much more would you love?

Wow.
All these new thoughts
Made me wrinkle my brow
and bite my lip.

We need to remember,
as believers in Christ
that even if we are church members
doesn't mean we are better.

Everything that applies to them
applies to us too.
God could just condemn,
but instead He loves and forgives.

He shows us new things,
tells us more secrets,
and yet He is still our King.
Our Prince of Peace.

It's our job
To tell others of this grace.
Why would we rob
People of this amazing gift?

But we also need to listen
and learn from what He says.
It will help us grow as Christians.
The family of God.

So next time you are waiting
at a doctors office,
take time to start listening.
He might just call your name.

Someday

In your arms watching fireflies go by
Holding your hand as we walk down the lane
Tickle fights that I hated to much
Making a heart with our hands
All those pictures we took.

My wish is someday you will look back
on all those memories and smile.
Maybe not now, there's always tomorrow.
Maybe not tomorrow, because that is too soon.
Maybe not soon, but after we grow.
Someday, someday you will remember and smile.

Texting late into the dark starry night
All the tender kisses we shared
Not so tender words we spoke
Inside jokes could make us both laugh
The songs we both loved

My wish is someday you will look back
on all those memories and smile.
Maybe not now, there's always tomorrow.
Maybe not tomorrow, because that is too soon.
Maybe not soon, but after we grow.
Someday, someday you will remember and smile.

It hurts now, I know
I feel it too
But God is a Healer, Restorer
it's true
His perfect plan is bigger
Bigger than the both of us.
Nothing can compare.
And now we move forward
don't forget, but always look on
But, I have one last thing to say....

My wish is someday you will look back
on all those memories and smile.
Maybe not now, there's always tomorrow.
Maybe not tomorrow, because that is too soon.
Maybe not soon, but after we grow.
Someday, someday you will remember and smile.
Someday, someday you will remember and smile.
