A beautiful song written by my friend Pam Bahr, which she asked me to sing and record for her during a house gathering on July 5th, 2016.

Lyrics (written by Pam Bahr)
The shades are drawn, the key's under the door.
And all the things I thought I needed are packed in boxes on the floor.
I left my dreams upon the table, along with all my plans.
I'm gonna leave them all behind me now to find out who I am.
I hear You calling me, I hear You calling me.
You're Voice sounds like the church bells when they ring.
My heart wants to receive all You have given me
which is everything, everything, everything.
I take a breath and walk into the night.
My feet don't know the way, but I know that that's alright.
Cause there's a path before me, that leads to where You are.
And every single footprint holds a star.
I hear You calling me, I hear You calling me.
You're Voice sounds like the church bells when they ring.
My heart longs to receive all You have given me
which is everything, everything, everything.
I hold purpose out before me like a candle.
Cause darkness cannot live where there is light.
My future lies within Your Holy Hands now.
As I give You all the pieces of my life.
I hear You calling me, I hear You calling me.
You're Voice sounds like the angels when they sing.
My heart longs to receive all You have given me
which is everything, everything, everything,
everything, everything.
