"When He Calls" lyrics - THE OAK RIDGE BOYS

When darkness fills the valley
Fear and dread strike deep within us
But our burdens soon will be lifted
When these old bones turn to dust

[Chorus:]
When He calls, I'm gonna live with Jesus
In His kingdom He welcomes everyone
I shall not fear no more earthly peril
For He will carry me home

[Instrumental interlude]

Now Satan will come to tempt me
But I'll try to resist sinful ways
And I pray that I'll find salvation
In that peaceful home far away

[Chorus:]
When He calls, I'm gonna live with Jesus
In His kingdom He welcomes everyone
I shall not fear no more earthly peril
For He will carry me home
