Called Clearly - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Clearly, when the trumpet sounds
called in the whispers of His voice
from deep within our hearts
from our complacency
from comfort, the familiar
urgently, called
from the couch, the TV,
from the desk, our work
out from the pews
out into the world
to go and do
to live, to follow
the calling of Christ
the voice of the Shepherd
all of our days
worthy of His name
to wear our robe and crown
forever, eternally
all of God’s days
