Jesus Is Calling Your Name

 
As the choir was singing a song you've heard before
This time it seemed different, you understood it more. 
You had heard the altar call oh so many times
But this time you knew, yes Jesus it is time.

When you try to step out and something holds you back.
It is Satan whose grip holds you and he'll hold your feet back
But when Jesus calls your name you will step out.  
And when you come  to the altar, Jesus name you will shout.

 Come to the altar when I call your name
Come to the altar, and you'll never be the same.
 I'll give you peace that you've been looking for. 
When I call your name you much not ignore.

 There's power in Jesus and this you will find.
He'll take away your sins and give you peace of mind.  
Satan can not hold you, when Jesus calls your name
With Jesus in your heart, you'll never be the same.

Your altar may not be, in the church where you go. 
But when you talk  to Jesus, your altar He will know. 
When your tears start to flow, you'll not be the same. 
And an altar you will find, when Jesus calls your name.
