Hal Ketchum – The Day He Called Your Name lyrics

On the day He called your name
frost was on the plow
House was braced for winter
snow upon the bough
Put up jam and made some bread
made sure we were warm and fed
He felt his pulse but kept on just the same
on the day he called your name.

On the day He called your name he looked like he was sleeping,
Ready to retire

Fiddle on the radio
was moaning something soft and low
Serarand you till the angels came
On the day He called your name

Did I ever thank you for the grace of your guiding hand?
Every little gift you gave to me

tonight I’m happy knowing that if I make it to the promised land
Your face will be the first one that I see.

Did I ever thank you for the grace of your guiding hand?
Every little gift you gave to me?
Tonight I’m happy knowing that if I make it to the promised land
Your face will be the first one that I see.

On the day He called your name
Laid you in the shade
Set a ring of roses
Around the simple bed you made
Gave your hard back to the land
You’re so straight to the angel band.
Just once spark for Love’s eternal flame
On the day He called your name
One more spark for Love’s eternal flame
On the day He called your name .
