“Recognition”

I’ve mistaken Him for a gardener at the place of death

The One who called me out of darkness

The One who breathed in me life’s breath

The One who came from Heaven’s glory

To pay the price of sin and shame

I’ve mistaken Him for something less

But still He calls my name…

He calls me to know Him as He is

He calls me child

He calls me to give my life

He calls me more than I can call myself

He calls me to walk in His goodness

He calls me His

I’ve mistaken Him for the darkness that I saw

The One who spoke and brought the light

The One who formed me and called me to stand in awe

The One who’s goodness

Is so much more than I can understand

I’ve mistaken Him for what I see in me..

But still He calls me to stand…

He is teaching me to know

The One He truly is

He is walking with me, talking with me

Calling me by the name He’s given to me

Showing the goodness He’s placed all around me

He is calling me His
