Abbas Bandali - You were calling me | Official Video

As I look back at my life
Which was filled with greed and lies
Ego chasing vain dreams
Now that I realize

You were there all this time
From the cradle to my youth
Through the ages you provide
For my daily livelihood

Yet I continued to sin
But you overlooked it all
You gave me what I need
And u did not let me fall

Now I'm old and frail
With a Rusted heart and soul
You loved me all this while
But I did not heed your call

You were calling me, but I just turned away
You were guiding me, but I chose to be astray

You were calling me, but I just turned away
You were guiding me, but I chose to be astray

You were kind to me, when I was always in the wrong
You were loving me, when I was doubting you all along

You were calling me, but I just turned away
You were guiding me, but I chose to be astray

Now I call on you my Lord
Having done things you abhorred
And I don't know where to start
But in your love I take heart

So I repent and believe
your closeness I achieve
I will do good day and night
And you'll turn my wrongs to right

You were calling me, but I just turned away
You were guiding me, but I chose to be astray

You were calling me, but I just turned away
You were guiding me, but I chose to be astray

I have no fear,
When I feel that youre near

You were always there,
Giving your love and care

How many times
I heard you call

Indulged in life,
I didn't respond

But You did not stop
Looking out for me

And You dint withhold
Your mercy

You were calling me, but I just turned away
You were guiding me, but I chose to be astray

You were kind to me, when I was always in the wrong
You were loving me, when I was doubting you all along

You were calling me, but I just turned away
You were guiding me, but I chose to be astray

You were calling me..
