1. The other day while I was talking to a friend of mine There was a strange interference on the telephone line. A voice out of nowhere was calling my name At first I thought that some one was just playing a game. The voice said Hello, this is Jesus. I said Mister get real! But words cant express how his voice made me feel. And in less than a moment I saw this was my chance. There were so many questions I just wanted to ask. Refrain:

To make us believe and get down on our knees and pray. The Lord said, I gave you the heavens and the land and the seas But all of this splendour does not make you believe. Voices and visions and signs in the sky

3. Lord, theres still something I just cant understand Why did you come to earth to be an ordinary man? When you could have powerful armies obeying your command The world at your feet without lifting a hand!

The Lord said I came down from heaven and I gave you my life In bread and wine remember this sacrifice Cos no other miracle on earth or above Is so accurate a measure of the depth of my love.

4. But Lord, look at this world, it seems somethings gone wrong And surely if you love us you wont let this go on Cant you stop all the fighting, its causing such a strain Stop the drought and the famine and send a little bit of rain. The Lord said, Ive given this world enough for all my childrens needs And some now go without because of others greed I see all thats happening and its breaking my heart
