lyrics
Call unto Me and I will answer
Call unto Me and I will answer
Call unto Me and I will answer thee
And show thee great and mighty things
Which thou knowest not
Which thou knowest not
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you
Before you were born I set you apart
And appointed you a prophet to the nations
And I said, alas, Lord God!
Everywhere I send you, you shall go
And all that I command you shall speak
Do not be afraid of them for I am with you
To deliver you declares the Lord
Call unto Me and I will answer thee
And show thee great and mighty things
Which thou knowest not
Which thou knowest not
Your words were found and I ate them
They were my joy, my heart’s delight
For I have been called by Your name
O LORD God of Hosts
Call unto Me and I will answer thee
And show thee great and mighty things
Which thou knowest not
Which thou knowest not
I did not sit in the circle of merrymakers
Because of Your hand upon me I sat alone
For You have filled me with Your indignation
A man of strife and contention I am become
Why is my pain perpetual
And my wound incurable?
Refusing to be healed
O Lord
Will You be to me as a deceptive stream?
As waters unfaithful?
O LORD, You have deceived me and I was deceived
You have overcome me and prevailed
I am become a laughingstock of mockers
But if I say I will not speak in His name
My heart becomes a burning fire shut up in my bones
And I cannot hold it in, cannot refrain
They will surely fight against you
Yet they shall not prevail over you
For I am with you to save you
And deliver you, declares the LORD
Call unto Me and I will answer thee
And show thee great and mighty things
Which thou knowest not
Which thou knowest not
Which thou knowest not
Call unto Me and I will answer
Call unto Me and I will answer
Call unto Me and I will answer ...
