The Calls She Did Not Answer (song)
[Verse 1]
She woke to stand before the throne,
The years of silence now laid bare.
She saw her father call again,
And saw herself leave it there.
Her children asked to see his face;
She told them they could not go.
She knew how much their grandpa cared.
She knew how much he’d miss them so.
[Chorus]
The calls she did not answer,
The years she could not give—
She said that she was serving Yah,
While closing out the ones who loved her.
Now every unanswered call
Comes back before the throne.
The calls she did not answer
Were choices of her own.
[Verse 2]
“They told me I should stay away.
I thought that I was doing right.”
But Yeshua asked about the words
She’d known and set aside:
“Honor your father and your mother.”
The command was plain to see.
She had obeyed another voice
And called it loyalty.
[Bridge]
The Book of Life lay open.
Her name was not inside.
“I never knew you,” Yeshua said.
She wept; her teeth clenched tight.
Before her burned the lake of fire.
She longed for one more day—
To answer when her father called,
To let her children stay.
[Final Chorus]
The calls she did not answer,
The years she could not give—
She wished she’d chosen mercy
While she still had time to live.
Now every unanswered call
Comes back before the throne.
The calls she did not answer
Were choices of her own.
[Outro]
If your father calls you today,
There is still time to answer.
