The Call


This is one of my all time favorite song, by Regina Spektor

The Call

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll cone back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

Every time when I heard of this song, I will picture out the scene of Aslan the Lion from the Chronicles of Narnia.
It is the literally icon of Jesus Christ, Lion of the Tribe of the Judah.
Where author C.S. Lewis wrote this amazing fantasy novel series based on the Bible.

I personally loved the second verse very much.

"'Til it was a battle cry"
"I'll come back"
"When you call me"

It is something very profound and significance for me,
that I can feel the promises from the Lord to us as His beloved children,

regardless of race,
regardless of culture,
regardless of tribes,
regardless of tongues,
regardless of religion,

Because we are living in a century of Multi-......

multiracial,
multicultural,
multi-tribal,
multi-religion,
multifunction,

That when we call upon His name,
He will come back to us.
In fact He will never leave us alone,
just that we don't think He is with us,
cause we Chose to believe so.

Lord, in my prayer I prayed that WE will always acknowledge Your presence, that we will always be open heart to You.
Please help us, to open our eyes and ears, to see You and hear You.
That we will answer to THE CALL from You.
Saying,"Here I am, Send Me!"
