Before You Call Me Home
by Mark Schultz

Black cars in line
The family has arrived
The church fills up
They've come to say goodbye
If this was my last day
What would they have to say?

Did I live a life of love
Did I give myself away
Will my kids think of you
When they speak my name
Was I always full of hope
Always reaching out
I wanna cross the finish line
And know I made it count
Before you call me home
Before you call me home

I wanna be a man
Who builds his children up
With a wife who feels
Like she's been truly loved
And if I've let them down
Lord help me start right now

I wanna live a life of love
I wanna give myself away
I want my kids to think of you
When they speak my name
Always full of hope
Always reaching out
I wanna cross the finished line
And know I made it count
Before you call me home
Before you call me home

And when I finally close my eyes
And wake up on the other side
With my life laid out in the sun
I wanna hear you say well done, well done

I wanna live a life of love
I wanna give myself away
I want my kids to think of you
When they speak my name
Always full of hope
Always reaching out
I wanna cross the finish line
And know I made it count
Before you call me home
Before you call me home
Before you call me home
Before you call me home
(Before you call me home)...
