COME TO THE EDGE, CLAIM THE CALL

MINOR KEY REFRAIN:
Come to the edge, claim the call;
come to the edge, claim the call;
Come to the edge, claim the call!

CHORUS:
Come to the edge, claim the call;
for the glory of God, give it your all!
And together we will find new ways
to bring God's love to a hurting world.
Come to the edge, claim the call;
for our neighbors' good, give it your all!
And together we will find new ways
to bring God's love to a hurting world.

(1)
Well, the Lord said, "Come to the edge,"
And we said, "But we might fall!"
The Lord said, "Come to the edge,"
And we said, "But it's too dangerous!"
Oh, yeah, the Lord said,
"Come to the edge,"
and we came, and the Lord pushed us, and we flew!
Oh, come to the edge, claim the call;
the Lord is waiting for you!

MINOR KEY REFRAIN
CHORUS

(2)
Well, we've got so much potential inside us;
our Creator will empower and guide us
to stretch ourselves
beyond what we thought we could do;
to be God's hands, and the Lord's voice, too.
We'll taste the thrill of living boldly
for our God,
Aflame with the vision of living the Word,
Oh, come to the edge, claim the call;
the Lord is waiting for you!

MINOR KEY REFRAIN (repeat first line 4 times)

Words and music © 1993 Linda K. Williams
Inspired by Guillaume Appolinaire's verse:
The Lord God said, "Come to the edge," and we said, "We might fall."
The Lord God said, "Come to the edge," and we said, "But it's too dangerous."
The Lord God said, "Come to the edge," and we came, and the Lord pushed us, and we flew!
(This French poet's verse appears on p. 204 of Bernie Segal's "Love, Medicine, and Minds")...and inspired by these scriptures: Ephesians 4:1, I Corinthians 7:7 (and many others!)
