CHORUS
I got the call of God
But I didn’t wanna go that far 2X
VERSE 1
From the time I was young
I knew that God had called me
I used to say that I would be in full time ministry
But when I grew up I changed my mind
I changed the vision for my life
I did not wanna go that far with God
CHORUS
I got the call of God
But I didn’t wanna go that far 2X
VERSE 2
Then I had many relationships
That took my heart away from God
They took me away from the call of the mission
Before I knew it I was down and out
I was too soft for full time ministry
I had no more zeal for the things of God
CHORUS
I got the call of God
But I didn’t wanna go that far 2X
VERSE 3
Then I gave myself to schooling
I wanted to study more and more
I thought to myself, if I have many degrees
I’d really be rich, all my dreams would come true
I was all out for education
But I didn’t wanna go all out with God
CHORUS
I got the call of God
But I didn’t wanna go that far 2X
VERSE 4
I felt that God should wait for me
Whilst I sort myself out
I said: when I’m old, when I retire
I'll serve the lord, but life goes by so quickly
Circumstances killed my call to full time ministry
Why didn’t I wanna go all out with God
CHORUS
I got the call of God
But I didn’t wanna go that far 2X
VERSE 5
How can I turn around
And do what I didn’t wanna do
Why was I so wise in my own eyes
Now that I’m old
I wish I’d listened to the call of God
I wish I had said yes but pharaoh did not let me go
I didn’t wanna go that far with God
CHORUS
I got the call of God
But I didn’t wanna go that far 2X
VERSE 6
So let me tell you my friends
When you hear the call to full time ministry
Say yes, make haste, take up your cross
No time to lose, there is no time to fool around
Your life is a vapor it vanishes so quickly
If you don’t believe me
You will end up singing this same song
CHORUS
I got the call of God
But I didn’t wanna go that far 2X
