Out of your darkness of sin and shame, Into His love, forever the same, Come to Him now, believe on His name, O answer the call today.

Out of your darkness of sin and shame, Into His love, forever the same, Come to Him now, believe on His name, O answer the call today.

Out of your darkness of sin and shame, Into His love, forever the same, Come to Him now, believe on His name, O answer the call today.

The Shepherd of Love now seeketh His sheep, He seeketh whate’er the cost; Behold, He is calling the wand’rer home, He’s calling, calling the lost.

Out of your darkness of sin and shame, Into His love, forever the same, Come to Him now, believe on His name, O answer the call today.
