I'll Be Listening

Representative Text

1 When the Saviour calls, I will answer,
When he calls for me, I will hear;
When the Saviour calls I will answer,
I'll be somewhere listening for my name.

Refrain:
I'll be somewhere list'ning,
I'll be somewhere list'ning,
I'll be somewhere list'ning for my name.
I'll be somewhere list'ning,
I'll be somewhere list'ning,
I'll be somewhere list'ning for my name.

2 If my heart is right when He calls me,
If my heart is right I will hear,
If my heart is right when He calls me,
I'll be somewhere listening for my name. [Refrain]

3 If my robe is white when He calls me,
If my robe is white I will hear,
If my robe is white when He calls me,
I'll be somewhere listening for my name. [Refrain]
