God I am saying YES to the call

In the quiet whispers of the night,

A gentle tug, a flickering light,

God, I am saying yes to the call,

To rise, to wander, to give it my all.

Through valleys deep and mountains high,

With faith as my compass, I’ll reach for the sky,

In the face of doubt, I’ll stand up tall,

With courage ignited, I answer the call.

Each step a promise, each breath a prayer,

Embracing the journey, I shed every care,

With love as my armor, I’ll never fall,

For in every heartbeat, I hear the call.

Through storms that may rage and shadows that loom,

I’ll carry the light, dispelling the gloom,

With grace as my guide, I’ll never stall,

For every adventure, I’m ready to haul.

God, I am saying yes, though the path may be steep,

In the arms of the unknown, my spirit will leap,

In unity and service, I’ll stand for them all,

With an open heart, I am answering the call.

So let the winds blow and the rivers run wild,

With trust in the promise of the Divine Child,

For in every moment, big or small,

I am here, I am willing, I’m saying yes to the call.
