Destiny Call
Lyrics
I climbed the mountains, I swam the seas
Searching for God on bended knees
An angel found me, pulled me high
Showed me wonders, kissed the sky
But when my feet hit the ground again
I felt the ache, I heard the pain…
The sound of suffering filled the air
A cry so broken, a heavy prayer
I’d been deaf to the world’s lament
Now I know what the journey meant
Now I know what the journey meant
I walked through fire, I crossed the land
Chasing a light I didn’t understand
But the spirit whispered the truth I’d missed
In the wail of sadness, in the clenched fist
It wasn’t the stars or the heavens above
It was the wounded on Earth, crying for love
The sound of suffering, it filled the air
A cry so broken a heavy prayer
I’d been deaf to the world’s lament
Now I know what the journey meant
When my feet touched the ground
My heart reached out toward the sound
I felt the ache, I heard the pain
The sound of suffering
Tears poured like rain
Now I know what the journey meant
Tears poured like rain
The sound of suffering
Thoughts About This Song…
Destiny Call’s lyrics, delivered with tender, yet powerful vocals and exquisitely dramatic musical accompaniment, take us on a transformative journey. The seeker is on a determined quest for God, but a revelation of the heavenlies ends with a return to reality and an overwhelming sense of the suffering found here. Denial shattered, ears opened to their cries, she sees now that she has been deaf to the sound of suffering. With a flood of tears, she repents from the heart when she realizes that the suffering are where God is found…and that addressing the terrible need in the world is the destiny that has been calling to her.
In a nutshell, the seeker finds her destiny by abandoning self-interest and turning toward selfless service of the suffering. The ultimate rebirth. Have you had a powerful experience like this? How has it changed the course of your life? We’d love to hear your story in the comments.
