I Will Call On You

(stop at end of song)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In joy I will praise you; in peace I will worship you.

In all I will call on you, my Saviour, my Lord.

In sadness I will cling to you; in turmoil I will rest in you.

In all I will call on you, my Saviour, my Lord.

When things go awry in this world of sin,

I’ll look to you for your wisdom and strength.

When all is well, and I have peace within,

I’ll look to you with love and devotion.

In truth I will seek you; in faith I will follow you.

In all I will call on you, my Saviour, my Lord.

In doubting I will turn to you; distressed I will trust in you.

In all I will call on you, my Saviour, my Lord.

When lives all around are filled with such pain,

I’ll look to you for compassion and grace.

When prayers are answered; loved ones born again,

I’ll look to you with thanks and with praise.

In love I will serve you; in hope I will wait for you.

In all I will call on you, my Saviour, my Lord.

In gladness I will give to you; obeying I will live in you.

In all I will call on you, my Saviour, my Lord.

I'll call on you.

Philippians 4:11,13 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am , therewith to be content.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.


Psalm 34:1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.



I wrote the beginnings of this song when I had been saved about a year. It was the end of a bad day, and I had poured my heart out to the Lord, in the form of poetry; something I had never done before. I tucked that poem away, and forgot about it, until ten years later when I came across it. I added to the initial lyrics, but the theme remains the same. It’s the answer I found as a baby Christian when I was overwhelmed by the frustrations of this life: In all I will call on you, my Saviour, my Lord.
