Call From Babylon

Call from Babylon

Call me oh Lord
Call me out of my sins
Call loudly that your voice may penetrate the hardness of my heart,
that I may hear your Holy Word through my sin
through my possessions, my fears, and my greed
through the evils of my heart.

For I have encompassed my soul in sin oh Lord
Till as a man becomes overcome by the seas
so does my spirit drown in my carnality.

Let your holy voice break through
to ignite my hungry spirit with the same divine power
which once fired the creation of the eternal cosmos.

Make clean my heart my God
by the power of the Holy Messiah.
Raise high the perceptions of my spirit
by the mighty touch of your own Holy Spirit to mine.
That my heart may see beyond what my eyes can show
that my spirit may know more than what my mind can discern.
That the perceptions of my spirit
may dwarf the perceptions of my senses.

Let my idols be broken unto the ground
Let my carnal glories be cast down forever
And let my sins and my pride be fallen before thy feet.
For I know that before Babylon can fall to the earth
so must she first fall from my heart.
