Salvation is Calling

Why are you downcast, O my soul?

Why are you troubled, O my heart?

Why are you fearful of winds and waves,

Of darkness and night?


Have you forgotten joy?

Have you misplaced peace?

Have you abandoned faith?

Lift up your head! Lift up your eyes!


Do you see Him?

Sleeping in the boat with you.

Put your hope in Him!

He is your refuge in the storm.


Look as He wakes.

Listen as He speaks.

Marvel as the wind obeys.

Rest in the peace He brings.


Fear not, sweet child.

For He has redeemed you.

He calls you by name.

He knows just where you are.


He will not abandon you

In the depths of the sea.

He will not leave you

In the raging fire.


Lift up your face.

Look to Him.

Salvation is calling.

Love waits for you.


But now, this is what the LORD says-- he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior… Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you… Do not be afraid, for I am with you Isa. 43
