The Calling
Embrace Freedom: The Calling Beyond Shame
Lyrics
You don't have to carry all this shame
You are not obligated to bear the burden of shame alone.
Do you hear it, the calling of your name
A call is reaching out to you, specifically addressing you by name.
And He is really not so far, from where you think you are
God is not distant; He is closer than you perceive.
He's just outside your door, you've heard Him knock before
God is present and has sought your attention, reminiscent of previous attempts.
With holes in His hands, reaching out He stands
Jesus, with wounds in His hands, is extending His arms towards you.
With power to forgive He wants to see you live
Jesus, possessing the ability to forgive, desires to witness you leading a fulfilling life.
No one, ever, was meant to live this way
No one was designed to endure life's challenges in isolation.
Hopeless, helpless fearing judgement day
Feelings of despair and fear of impending judgment characterize a state of hopelessness.
When the victory's been won over all the things we've done
Victory has been achieved over our wrongdoings and shortcomings.
The Kingdom now is here, salvation is near
The Kingdom of God is accessible, and salvation is imminent.
With holes in His hands, reaching out He stands
Jesus, with wounds in His hands, is extending His arms towards you (repeated).
With power to forgive He wants to see you live
Jesus, possessing the ability to forgive, desires to witness you leading a fulfilling life (repeated).
The call goes out to you
A call is directed specifically to you.
Never will you be, someone who is free
You will not experience true freedom until you respond to the call.
Until you open up the door
Freedom is attained by opening the door, likely metaphorical for accepting divine guidance.
When your burden's heavy, hear Him calling 'come to Me'
In times of heaviness, listen to His call inviting you to come closer.
To anyone who's thirsty, come drink this water freely
A universal invitation is extended to those seeking fulfillment; freely accept spiritual nourishment.
With holes in His hands, reaching out He stands
Jesus, with wounds in His hands, is extending His arms towards you (repeated).
Never will you be, someone who is free
You will not experience true freedom until you respond to the call (repeated).
Until you open up the door
Freedom is attained by opening the door, likely metaphorical for accepting divine guidance (repeated).
Open up the door
An urging to take action and respond to the invitation by opening the door.
