Jesus Called For Me
by The Anchormen

Album: Anticipation

He was praying in the garden,
"If this cup may not pass from me,
Except I drink it, let Thy will be done",
Then, they bought Him before Pilate,
Pilate sought for mercy,
But they mocked and crowned with thorns God's only son;
And when He walked the way of suffering,
Oh, it led Him to a place called Calvary,
Where He looked ahead in time,
For He knew in His own mind
That the cross was the only way He could ever call for me.

Chorus
He called for me, He called for me,
My name escaped His lips while He was hanging on the tree,
He called for me, He called for me,
I'm so glad Jesus called for me.

He could have called on God, His Father, to take Him back to heaven,
But, instead, He pleaded "Father, forgive them",
He could have called His disciples to take up arms for battle
For He surely knew that they would die for Him.
He could have called ten thousand angels, oh, to bring an end to all His agony,
But, He looked ahead in time, for He knew in His own mind
That the cross was the only way He could ever call for me.

REPEAT CHORUS 2x

I'm so glad Jesus called for me.
For me.
