I walked in her room
and saw her there
She knelt so quietly
I knew she was in prayer
There was a presence in the room
I'd felt before, but I was frightened
So I turned and closed her door
Love was calling out my name
Love was calling out my name
Looking back on that day,
It's plain to me
My momma's heart
was crying out for my release
It took years for me to be
finally free
Her prayers were answered,
though she never lived to see
Love was calling out my name
Love was calling out my name
Love has the power
to make the weakest man tower
to make the strongest man cower
God has no end to His power
Love is a fire
whose flames reach higher and higher
Love burns with endless desire
to see us whole
I understand my mother's heart for me
Wanting Jesus to make all that I could be
Now the situation's changed, I'm on my knees
Praying for my baby's eyes to some day see that
Love is calling out her name
Love is calling out her name
Love has the power
to make the weakest man tower
to make the strongest man cower
God has no end to His power
Love is a fire
whose flames reach higher and higher
Love burns with endless desire
to see us whole
