Calling
X-Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you hear it, the calling of your name
And He is really not so far, from where you think you are
He's just outside your door, you've heard Him knock before
With holes in His hands, reaching out He stands
With power to forgive He wants to see you live
No one, ever, was meant to live this way
Hopeless, helpless fearing judgement day
The Kingdom now is here, salvation is near
With holes in His hands, reaching out He stands
With power to forgive He wants to see you live
The call goes out to you
Never will you be, someone who is free
Until you open up the door
When your burden's heavy, hear Him calling 'come to Me'
To anyone who's thirsty, come drink this water freely
With holes in His hands, reaching out He stands
Never will you be, someone who is free
Until you open up the door
Open up the door
In the X-Project song "Calling," the singer encourages the listener to let go of their shame and acknowledge the calling of their name by God. The lyrics emphasize that God is not far away and that He is always available to forgive and offer salvation. The singer implores the listener to open the door to let God in and receive the freedom that He offers. The image of the holes in His hands is a reference to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and serves as a reminder of the sacrifice He made for humanity. The song is both an invitation and a reminder of the fundamental tenets of Christian faith.
