Lyrics

You Answered My Call

Verse 1:
I'm here again, Father, just to thank You, Lord, for all You have done for me.
There is none like You, Father--shining Your light in the dark and giving sight for all to see.

You are the sinner's hope, for You paid the price upon the cross and died for me.
You are the widow's strength, for You lifted her veil of sorrow and renewed her within.

Chorus:
We'll praise Your holy name, O Lord, till Your kingdom comes, our God.
We'll rejoice in Your holiness, Lord, dancing our way to receive our crowns.

Holy is the Lord, who is seated on high, whose holy fire sets the captives free.
Amazing is our God, who is seated on high, whose holy name redeems the wayward soul.

Verse 2:
When that deceiver came in the night, wagging his tongue, trying to snatch my soul,
You heard my cry and made him flee--thank You, Jesus, for answering my call.

You are the sinner's hope, for You paid the price upon the cross and died for me.
You are the widow's strength, for You lifted her veil of sorrow and renewed her within. *Chorus*

Bridge:
Whenever I'm low, Your love, Lord, lifts my soul--I don't deserve all You've done for me.
You brighten my days and set my hope on the mountaintop, high for the world to see.

Lord, I'll give You praise for the rest of my life--In this world, and in the one to come above.
Take my hand, dear Lord; here are my heart and soul, laid before You as I bow before Your throne. *Chorus*

Outro:
O Most High, You alone are worthy to be praised.
We sing to You, Most High -- You alone are worthy of our praise.
