When He Calls by Emmylou Harris Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When darkness fills the valley
Fear and dread strive deep within us
But our burdens soon will be lifted
When these old homes turn to dust

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

[Verse 2]
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][x2]
