My Soul Calls Out
Kaitlan Bui
I am so distant from You, Lord,
But solely You I look toward.
My soul calls out Your precious name
Because I’m broken, blind, and lame.
And I know that I have been living
Recently without thanksgiving,
Just shuffling around my mind–
But Christ turned water into wine!
So, God, I desperately pray
You’d change my heart in the same way,
That scales would fall out of my eyes,
That even when the sun doth rise,
And even when the rainfall starts,
I would remember in my heart
That I have always been Your child,
That You prevail e’en in the wild,
That now my life is sacrifice
And I can’t live under a guise–
But bursting forth from fire and flame,
Living each day to praise Your name.
So take me from my world within
And give me strength to now begin
A life that holds the joy of You,
The love, peace, patience, kindness too.
For You have said, “Abide in Me;
I am the Vine, you are the leaves.”
