Some called him a prophet   Some called him a saint   Some couldn't believe their eyes   Or the words he had to say      Some called him crazy   Some thought he was strange   But I have felt his touch   And I'll never be the same      I call him love   I call him mercy   I called him out of my darkness and pain   And he answered my need      I call him love   I call him healing   He is the one who has filled me with hope   And restored life to me, I call him love      Some call him a mystery   A power without a face   Some feel He's a distant father   That they could not embrace   But I have felt his touch and I'll never be the same      I call him love   I call him mercy   I called him out of my darkness and pain   And he answered my need      I call him love   I call him healing   He is the one who has filled me with hope   And restored life to me, I call him love      'Cause he reached out to me   I'm overwhelmed by the grace I have received      I call him love   I call him mercy   I called him out of my darkness and pain   And he answered my need      I call him love   I call him healing   He is the one who has filled me with hope   And restored life to me, I call him love
