Lyrics
There was a great revival in our little country church
People came from miles around to hear about God’s word
Anointed in the spirit you could feel it in the air
My life was changed that night as I bowed my head in prayer
CHORUS
I heard my Savior calling me
On that blessed night I fell down on my knees
Well I raised my hand to Jesus pure faith had set me free
Praise God I see the light my Savior’s calling me
BREAK- E B E (last line of Chorus)
I’m so thankful for a Savior who would make the sacrifice
In a selfless loving gesture giving us eternal life
Yes an offer for the taking listen with an open heart
It’s a choice that’s up to you, hear the Savior calling too
CHORUS
CHORUS
Praise God I see the light I heard my Savior calling me
