We’ve Been Called Out Lyrics

Verse 1
Some folks I know, by their name,
Some I just known by their face,
Some are known, by their fame,
Others are known by their race.
But in the kingdom of our Lord,
Each soul has their place.
And in my mind, I have no doubt,
By names, we’ve been called out.

Chorus
And we’ve been called out,
For a purpose called out,
To be a servant called out,
To lift a standard called out
To raise the banner called out,
To be a witness called out,
To show forgiveness called out,
From this world, child you’ve been called out.

Verse 2
In the prison walls on that day,
The jailer had bound up their feet,
Stripped up their garment, there they lay,
Bleeding from where they were beat
But along about midnight Paul began to pray,
And Silas started to sing,
The earth shook about, doors swung open wide,
God said you’ve been called out

Notes

The hymn We’ve Been Called Out emphasizes the Christian calling to live a life of purpose, service, and witness for God. For a Christian, this hymn serves as a reminder of their unique identity in Christ and their mission to reflect His love and truth in the world.

In the first verse, the hymn contrasts the ways people are identified in the world—by name, face, fame, or race—with the way God sees His children in His kingdom. Every soul has a place in God’s plan, and the phrase “by names, we’ve been called out” highlights the personal and intentional calling God places on each believer’s life. This reflects the Christian understanding of being chosen and set apart to serve God.

The chorus reinforces this calling, listing specific purposes for which Christians are called out: to serve, uphold God’s standard, raise His banner, bear witness, and demonstrate forgiveness. These roles underline the believer’s responsibility to live a life that reflects Christ’s character and furthers His kingdom.

The second verse recounts the story of Paul and Silas in prison (Acts 16), showing that even in suffering, believers are called to pray, praise, and trust in God’s deliverance. Their faith led to a miraculous release, symbolizing God’s power to use His people for His glory even in the darkest circumstances.

Overall, the hymn is a powerful declaration of the Christian mission, encouraging believers to embrace their calling with faith and purpose, knowing they’ve been set apart for God’s work.
