The Calling

And it came to pass
As Jesus sat at meet in the house
Behold, many publicans and sinners came
And sat down with him and his disciples
And when the Pharisees saw this
They said unto his disciples
Why eateth your Master
With publicans and senators?
But when Jesus heard that
He said unto them
They that be whole need not a physician
But they that are sick

I walked into town
With a message for my old man
I've got the last two chapters of Matthew
In my hand
Steve painting houses while Bobby went
And gone insane
They buried my sister
But daddy he stayed the same

Follow the Sun out of the night
Brother, just lean into the light
You wanna be sure, I’ll give you sight
Brother, just lean into the light

His hands still shake
When the ponies break out on the track
(Here comes the calling)
His feet still quick
When they say they want their money back
(Here comes the calling)
But daddy did you think
That you could outrun the Holy Ghost?
(Here comes the calling)
Lie, cheat, steal
Hope they fix it all up in post

The book will be open
In front of the judge
Unquenchable fire
Or keys to the kingdom?

Follow the Sun out of the night
Brother, just lean into the light
You wanna be sure, I’ll give you sight
Brother, just lean into the light
The road to the kingdom's burnin' bright
Brother, just lean into the light

You heard that the master was traveling through
But what would you do if he walked in the room?
Pray to the left, pray to the right
Brother, just lean in
Brother, just lean into the light

Follow the Sun out of the night
Brother, just lean into the light
You wanna be sure, I’ll give you sight
Brother, just lean into the light
The road to the kingdom's burnin' bright
Brother, just lean into the light
Follow the Sun out of the night
Brother, just lean into the light

Here comes the calling
Here comes the calling
