CALLED TO WALK IN THE WAY
  
   Tune: Put Your Hand in the Hand  
  
      
  
   Called to walk in the way of the man who stilled the water;   
  
   Called to walk in the way of the man who calmed the sea:   
  
   Called to live in the Word and be free to live for others;   
  
   Called to walk in the way of the man from Galilee.  
  
      
  
   Hear the Word that's the Word that's been said for all God's creatures;   
  
   Hear the Word that's the Word that's been said for you and me;   
  
   It's the Word about life you are called to give  all relations ;   
  
   It's the Word that will give them their  possibility.  
  
      
  
   Well, a voice comes, I hear it saying all too clearly;   
  
   "You are my child” with you I am well pleased!   
  
   Got a job to be done and life must needs be given.   
  
   Can't promise rewards and your pain will be increased."  
  
      
  
   Then the Spirit came and said, "Go into the desert!   
  
   There's a power—old Satan—he's the one you've got to meet."   
  
   Forty days without food out there as a solitary;   
  
   Had to decide old Satan was the one that had to be beat.  
  
      
  
   Got the Word, can't hold it, have to say it‑-it is the gospel;   
  
   "The time has come! The kingdom it has arrived!   
  
   You must change your hearts and minds and believe this good news;   
  
   It's the Word from which the future must be derived."  
  
      
  
   Heal the sick, chase the demons, say the Word that says "forgiveness;"   
  
   Take away all excuses for a life to be lived as dead.   
  
   Help each one you meet to make a new decision,­  
  
   To pick up the past, live the future with all its dread.  
  
      
  
   There'll be betrayal and despair and denial—you'll be left all alone;   
  
   And you'll wonder if the God who has called has gone away.   
  
   There'll be taunts and a hill and a cross all prepared for you,   
  
   Then the spear, flowing blood. final words . . . has death won the day'?  
  
      
  
   Feel the dankness and the darkness and the quietness of this closed‑up tomb!   
  
   Feel the relief that old death has prepared for you and me!   
  
   But the Lord calls again ‑‑ look! The stone! It has been rolled away!   
  
   Time to walk with the pain through the avenues of history.  
  
      
  
    Repeat first verse
