He Called Me Out
by Paul's Journey

Album: Our Favorites

Verse 1
jesus was called by the sisters of lazarus,
four days dead he laid in the tomb
mary cried, for she thought it was hopeless
martha thought that her brother was doomed

Verse 2
jesus wept, then walked to the gravesite,
he had the stone moved away from the door
everyone doubted, but they stood there in wonder
as the king of all kings cried, "lazarus come forth"

Chorus 1
he called him out of a grave, dark and cold
told them to loose him, and let him go
for four days he lay, death had him bound,
but jesus spoke, he called him out
yes, jesus spoke, he called him out

Verse 3
for a long time i was just like the man lazarus
sin held me captive in a dark lonely tomb
but then one day i knelt at the altar
i heard his sweet voice, as it pierced through the gloom

Chorus 2
he called me out of a grave, dark and cold
told satan to loose me, and let me go
for a long time i strayed, sin had me bound,
but jesus spoke, he called me out
yes, jesus spoke, he called me out

repeat chorus 2
