Backstory:

I'm a lifetime musician (rock drummer - go figure?) who didn't get saved till I was 30 years old, but God didn't decide to make me a songwriter until I was 53 years old. I wish He'd done it a little earlier, but He knows best.  God also called me to preach and I've been a bi-vocational preacher for 40-plus years. I bless the day that God called out to me, and I've witnessed the scene portrayed in this song many times over the years. My good buddy Kaleb Wright contributed most of the melody.

Lyrics:

                                                  
WHEN GOD CALLED OUT TO ME

VS 1
I LISTENED TO THAT PREACHER MAN, AS HE LAID OUT THE HOLY PLAN 
AND EVERY WORD HE SPOKE, WENT TO MY HEART
OF SODOM'S FIRE AND NOAH'S FLOOD -- OF GOD'S FREE GRACE AND JESUS' BLOOD
I FELT THE CHAINS OF SIN BEGIN TO PART

CHORUS
MY EYES WERE OPENED. IT FELT GOOD JUST KNOWIN’   
THAT GRACE LED ME TO CALVARY
ANGELS WERE SINGIN’, AN’ JOY BELLS WERE RINGING
THAT BLESSED DAY WHEN GOD CALLED OUT TO ME

VS 2
THE WORD OF GOD BECAME SO SWEET I COULDN’T SIT STILL IN MY SEAT
NEXT THING I KNEW I WALKED RIGHT DOWN THE AISLE 
THE SPIRIT TAUGHT ME HOW TO PRAY AND THEN I FOUND THE HOLY WAY 
WHEN I LOOKED UP IT WAS JUST LIKE JESUS SMILED

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
WHEN I GOT UP THERE WAS NO DOUBT – THE SAINTS OF GOD HAD BEGUN TO SHOUT
THEN I JOINED THEM IN HEAVEN'S JUBILEE 
I ONCE WAS LOST BUT I’D BEEN FOUND.  MY FEET WERE SET ON HOLY GROUND
GOD’S GRACE HAD BROUGHT TO ME THE VICTORY

REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
