You Called is a "power ballad" - not fast, but loaded with energy. It speaks about how God is always calling us. And when we do finally realize this, He's there for us - a friend, and light, in our darkest hours...

This song talks about how God is always calling us. No matter our situation or current stance. He wants us near Him and is continually calling on us to proclaim His name and trust and rest in His strength. The interesting side note about this song is its direct applicability to events in Paul's life - this song partially born out of which.

You called
Long before my darkest hour
I heard
But I didn't feel your power
So I did it on my own

Another day
Without you there beside me
Alone
With no one there to guide me
I just can't do it on my own
Anymore. . . .

Chorus
Seems I've always heard You callin'
Ever since I was a child
You promised me that You would save me
If I'd just trust in Jesus Christ

Seems I've always heard you callin'
Ever since I was a child
Now I proclaim the name of Jesus
With all my heart, my soul, my mind

Now I stand
'Cause I know You're there beside me
Your hands
Give me strength and satisfy me
Don't need to do it on my own
Anymore. . . .

Chorus
Seems I've always heard you callin'
Ever since I was a child
You promised me that You would save me
If I'd just trust in Jesus Christ

Seems I've always heard you callin'
Ever since I was a child
Now I proclaim the name of Jesus
With all my heart my soul my mind

Chorus
Seems I've always heard you callin'
Ever since I was a child
You promised me that You would save me
If I'd just trust in Jesus Christ

Seems I've always heard you callin'
Ever since I was a child
Now I proclaim the name of Jesus
With all my heart my soul my mind
