Not My Call
If I were to do it all over again
I'd have lived without schizophrenia
But that wasn't my call
And I was not able to shake it
If I were to do it all over again
I'd have not been brought up Catholic
But that wasn't my call
Though I stalled I came out of her in a bit
If I were to do it all over again
I'd have calmed the pull of the flesh
But that wasn't my call
Jesus' example beyond my limit
If I were to do it all over again
I'd have chosen an appropriate profession
But that wasn't my call
I lacked understanding purpose and insight
If I were to do it all over again
I'd apply the knowledge and wisdom that I have now then
But that is not my call
I strained to make my way day and night
Fact is we don't get to do it all over again
That is a curse and a blessing
And that also is not our call
Trust in Jesus' promises hold tight.
