CALL ME GONE
By the Hinsons
Verse 1
Call me a dreamer, Cause I call it mine
Heaven, but I don't care
And call me crazy Cause I'm homesick for it
Heaven, but I don't care
And call me crazy Cause I'm homesick for it
Yet I have never been there
Call me a stranger, Cause that's all I am, I know I don't belong
Call me anything, but when He calls me, Calls me gone
Chorus
Call me gone, I'll be leavin’
Call me gone, you'll be greavin’
If you're left here without Jesus to call on
Call me gone, no more heartache
Call me gone, and all that it takes
Is for me to hear Him call me then call me gone
Verse 2 (Spoken)
You know I've been called an awful lot of things in my lifetime
And to be honest smart wasn't always one of them
But thank God I was smart enough one day to call Jesus Christ the Lord of my life, And it was then I called it quits to a whole lot of sinning
Call me a stranger, Cause that's all I am, I know I don't belong
Call me anything, but when He calls me, Calls me gone
Chorus
Call me gone, I'll be leavin’
Call me gone, you'll be greavin’
If you're left here without Jesus to call on
Call me gone, no more heartache
Call me gone, and all that it takes
Is for me to hear Him call me then call me gone
Verse 2 (Spoken)
You know I've been called an awful lot of things in my lifetime
And to be honest smart wasn't always one of them
But thank God I was smart enough one day to call Jesus Christ the Lord of my life, And it was then I called it quits to a whole lot of sinning
But it's because of that commitment that a lot of people laugh at me and call me foolish . Aw.. but let em go ahead and laugh... That don't bother me at all, cause any fool can see by the shape she's in that this ole worlds gonna fall. But just as long as I know Jesus, I've got nothing to fear and when the role is called up yonder, don't you call on me cause I ain't gonna be here!
Chorus
Call me gone, I'll be leavin’
Call me gone, you'll be greavin’
If you're left here without Jesus to call on
Call me gone, no more heartache
Call me gone, and all that it takes
Is for me to hear Him call me then call me gone
This is one of my favorite songs (among many by the Hinsons). I grew up listening to them and singing their songs in church.
