Intro (Damon O’): This is why we call on You / ‘Cause You always bring us through / This is why we call on you x 2
V1 – I’m so glad that I’m not who I used to be / Folks from my past trippin’ ‘cause the X they used to see / Is dead & gone, never to be found again / Matter of fact, the old X, yep, drowned in sin / Suffocated by pride and lust / Now ya boy is handcuffed by the God I trust / It’s a must we discuss what once had us / ‘Cause our time here is brief, then it’s back to dust / I could rhyme about ballin’ man / But I choose to spit truth when I write, that’s my calling man / I’m free, but still a slave with a ball & chain / Declaring God’s glory kinda like a fallin’ rain / A fugitive on furlough, but make no mistake / My ransom’s been paid, and I ain’t tryin’ to escape / Got hold of that eternal perspective / And now abiding in You is my only objective . . . . And
Hook (Damon O’): This is why we call on You / ‘Cause You always bring us through (Oh Lord!) / This is why we praise Your name / You never let us stay the same / This is why we live this way / You still love us, come what may (Oh Lord!) / This is why we call on You x 2
V2 – Yes!! I’m goin’ call on You / You let the sins of the world fall on You / And every need I’ve got, it’s all on You / Eternally indebted for all You do / And for all You’ve done and all You’ve brought me through / It goes without saying that You didn’t have to / So Lord, here I am, I owe it all to You / Dazed & amazed at Your Grace like Whooooooooooo! / And no I don’t deserve it, still You’re blessin’ me / Even I was more screwed up than the S.U.C. / The mess you see ain’t a mess because / My life got purpose like your life does / Our time here on earth, a temporary assignment / So I’m locked up in the truth like solitary confinement / And I’m calling on You, like I’m calling on the phone / I just wanna know you God, And I just wanna make You known . . . And

V3 – I thank God for my family, thank God for my friends / Thank God that Jesus came and died for my sins / So sanctify, set me apart dear Lord / And Justify as I hide You in my heart dear Lord / It’s by Your mercies that I’m not consumed / You’ve swept me off my feet like You carry a broom / From the womb to the tomb, you’ve allowed me to bloom / You gave me room to grow, no longer facing eternal doom / Forever thankful that you’ve molded me carefully / And now every decision is made prayerfully / And without Your existence / My entire life could be described as a near death experience / And even after they drop my casket in the earth / There’s more life to live thanks to the virgin birth / Of a matchless Saviour, His name of Jesus / The One who wants to lead us from sinners to believers . . . And
