I Was Called
Called by Faith: A Musical Journey Home
Lyrics
Long time since Talladega, long way from old Selma
Reflecting on the time spent in Talladega and the distance from Selma.
Wandered not, and I did not stray, all my burdens taken away
Expressing a steadfast and unwavering journey, with burdens lifted.
I hear my Daddy calling, calling me back home
Hearing a spiritual call from the speaker's father, beckoning them home.
And when it's my time, only God can know
Acknowledging that the timing of one's departure is known only to God.
Stay with God, and He'll stay with you
Encouraging staying close to God for reciprocated support.
Rest your worries, and He'll see you through.
Advising to find solace in God to overcome worries.
I was called and He led the way
Expressing a sense of divine calling and guidance in life.
He carried me through on nothing but faith
Describing a journey sustained solely by faith.
He lifted me higher, on the wings of a song
Experiencing spiritual elevation through the power of music.
I knew, I always knew, I was called
Affirming a deep-seated awareness of being chosen or called.
Sweet harmonies of the Golden Gates
Referencing the beautiful harmonies associated with heavenly gates.
Velma Traylor did not shake our faith
Mentioning Velma Traylor as an example of unwavering faith.
God's been good, so good to me
Expressing gratitude for God's goodness in the speaker's life.
I followed Him, and He followed me
Emphasizing a reciprocal relationship with God in following and being followed.
I was called, He led me on
Reiterating the sense of divine calling and guidance.
Carried me through, on the wings of a song
Continuing the metaphor of being carried through challenges by the power of music.
He lifted me up, showed me the way
Experiencing spiritual upliftment and guidance in life's journey.
I always knew, always knew, I was called
Reaffirming the enduring awareness of being chosen or called.
I was called, He led the way
Reiterating the sense of divine calling and guidance.
He carried me through on nothing but faith
Highlighting the reliance on faith in overcoming life's challenges.
He lifted me higher, on the wings of a song
Experiencing spiritual elevation through the power of music.
I always knew, always knew, I was called
Emphasizing the enduring awareness of being chosen or called.
