God, I'm Calling Out to You
Author: Emma Turl Meter: 14.14 D Appears in 1 hymnal Hymnal Title: Christian Worship First Line: God, I'm calling out to you from a distant, barren land Lyrics: 1 God, I'm calling out to you from a distant, barren land:
listen to my urgent cries carried faint upon the wind.
When my soul is overwhelmed and resilience disappears,
lead me to your high retreat, secure above all my fears.
2 Still be there to shelter me when accusers threaten harm—
in the refuge of your strength let your presence keep me calm.
In your sanctuary safe from attacks and buffetings
let me, like a fledgling, rest in comfort under your wings.
3 God, you raised your Son from death, Christ whose kingdom shall endure,
and because he gives me life my inheritance is sure.
May your faithful tender love that restores us and sustains
draw unending thanks and praise from hearts where Jesus now reigns.

Emma Turl
Hymnal Title: Christian Worship Author of "God, I'm Calling Out to You" in Christian Worship Emma Turl lives in Essex. After studying English language and literature and completing teacher-training in Oxford, she spent 12 years in Africa - first in Uganda and then in Ghana with her husband, John, initially teaching and later staying at home to look after their two growing children. She had gradually become blind at an early age and has additional disabilities. She enjoys a variety of activities including playing saxophone in a small band at her local church.
Emma's interest in the psalms was awakened through singing them in traditional worship as a child, and this led to exploring ways of expressing them in present-day language. Since then she has been increasingly struck by their relevance to life and faith. Time to Celebrate, a collection of hymns and Bible lyrics, was published in 1999 with some of its items set to music by her friend Gill Berry and others by John Turl. Lyrics of hers also appeared in Praise! (2000) and Come Celebrate (2009). A selection of these (at times radically revised) is among her lyrics published on this website, and others can be found at Praise! (together with Gill Berry's music) and Hymmetry.
