It is God’s commandment and desire

It is God’s commandment and desire That His people call on Him And it is the joyful way to drink From the fount of God’s salvation. Yes, this is a joyful way To delight oneself in Him. God becomes our enjoyment Just by calling on His precious name.

Calling Him is not a new practice In the New Testament. It began way back in Genesis, And throughout the Old Testament. Enosh, Job, and Abraham— All these ones called on Him. Moses, Samuel, and David— And many others did the same.

It is such a jubilant practice That Joel prophesied. And this was fulfilled at Pentecost, So Peter testified: All who call upon the name Of the Lord shall be saved. All who call upon the name Of the Lord Jesus shall be saved.

God outpoured His Spirit on all flesh For the application Of His rich salvation to all men, But we must call upon Him. Calling brings the Jubilee; Jesus comes to you and me. Calling sets the captives free; We’re enjoying God in liberty.

Calling was a major practice then By the early Christians. It became a popular sign Of Christ’s believers then. Yes, this is a joyful way To delight oneself in Him. God becomes enjoyable Just by calling on His precious name.

Calling is opposed as it was then By the camp of religion. But His witnesses kept calling Him: They weren’t stopped by opposition. We must be like Stephen then; Jesus was his everything. Even while they martyred him, He was calling on the highest name.
