Calling on His Name

INTRO (organ, spoken feel) Brothers and fathers, hear my defense... VERSE 1 I am a Jew, born in Tarsus, Brought up at Gamaliel's feet, Zealous for God as you are today, Persecuting the Way in every street. I went to Damascus with letters, And about noon a great light shone; I fell to the ground and heard Him: "I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute." VERSE 2 They led me by the hand, I was blinded, Till Ananias came and stood: "Brother Saul, receive your sight." And I looked up and I could. "The God of our fathers appointed you To know His will, to see the Just One, To hear a voice from His mouth, And to tell all men what you have seen and heard." CHORUS And now why do you wait? (why do you wait?) Rise and be baptized, (rise up) Wash away your sins, Calling on His name! Calling on His name! (call on Him) Calling on His name! (call on Him) Whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved! BRIDGE Then in the temple I was praying, And He said, "Go, for I will send you Far away to the Gentiles." (crowd) Away with such a man from the earth! (lead) But the Lord stood with me, the Lord stood with me. FINAL CHORUS (full choir shout) OUTRO Calling on His name.
