    The recording I did for this song is a little fast - but maybe that's how it should be. It seems that the liturgical music industry could use a few "basic" fast songs - nothing too complicated. The lyrics may be hard to sing along to, so be sure to check out the lyrics page. The words are what make this song so great.

    Story Behind the Song
    David Haas wrote a great We Are Called many years ago. While his song will always remain one of my all-time favorites, I just had to write a song about our calling from God. It's such an important message to me - something that all humans should recognize. God wants us to be His - He loves us so much. And so we are "called to be light for the kingdom of God..."

    Lyrics
    Called to be like the saints.
    Called to speak out to the world what we know.
    We are called to spread God’s word.
    Called to be like a friend.
    Called to provide for the hungry and weak.
    We are called to be strength for the poor.


    Called to be light for the Kingdom of God.
    We are called as children from Heaven above.
    We are called as one to serve the Lord.
    We are called to spread God’s word.
    We are called.

    Called to be like St. Paul.
    Called to repent when we know of our sins.
    We are called to obey His commands.
    Called to be like our Christ.
    Living and dying; uniting, reviving.
    And teaching the work of His hands.

    Called to be like the Bread.
    Giving ourselves for the life of a friend.
    We are called to protect what He gave.
    Called to be like the Wine.
    Teaching the dumb and curing the blind.
    We are called to renew and to save.
