Chariots of Fire
Eric Liddell
knowing he’s been called
and knowing God’s pleasure
living in God’s will
missionary and runner
using his gifts
to bring glory to God
why does this strike me?
touch my heart today
almost bringing tears
as it did in the movie
God’s call at the Cenacle
came through loud and clear
and You’re calling me now, Lord
but I’m not so sure ~ to what?
just to love You
“just” a feeble word
it’s so much more than that
it’s about being consumed by You
about total surrender
entering into Your Sacred Heart
through the portal in Your side
Your glorious woundedness
Norman Rockwell’s painting
“the Call” of Springtime
I’m that wistful lean boy
listening and transported
hearing Your call
in another world
drawn irresistibly
drawn… away…
help me Lord
You’re calling
my heart is moved within me
May I say Yes…. Always forever Yes…
