The Summons, written by John Bell

This song was sung at Holy Fam yesterday during mass. It really touched me... and i feel challenged to love and serve more. Even though we serve in Church, we are sometimes.. still FAR from perfect. We still lack love, lack being a true light for Christ, and lack so many things. As I serve more, I feel more lacking and that's where I realise that I need to change even more, and also depend on God even more. There's always more to God. because He is infinity.


The Summons, written by John Bell

Will you come and follow me, if I but call your name?
Will you go where you don't know, and never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown, will you let my love be known,
Will you let my life be grown in you and you in me?

Will you leave yourself behind, if I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind, and never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare, should your life attract or scare?Will you let me answer prayer in you and you in me?

Will you let the blinded see, if I but call your name?
Will you set the prisoners free, and never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean, and do such as this unseen,
And admit to what I mean in you and you in me?

Will you love the 'you' you hide, if I but call your name?
Will you quell the fear inside, and never be the same?
Will you use the faith you've found, to reshape the world around,
Through my sight and touch and sound in you and you in me?

Lord your summons echoes true when you but call my name,
Let me turn and follow you and never be the same.
In your company I'll go, where your love and footsteps show.
Thus I'll move and live and grow in you, and you in me.
