Lyrics
Verse 1
I won’t bow to what the darkness said
I’ve heard too many lies inside my head
But your voice is louder than the fear
So I stand and make it clear
Verse 2
What was buried will begin to breathe
What was delayed is finding me
Every word you spoke will take its place
Mercy is moving in this space
Chorus
I open up my mouth and faith becomes a sound
What you started in me will not hit the ground
I call it forth, light in the morning
I call it forth, peace in my home
I call it forth, joy overflowing
Everything written for me
I call it forth
Verse 3
Let the broken season lose its hold
Let the waiting turn to living gold
What looked silent wasn’t empty ground
You were growing miracles somehow
Verse 4
Now my steps will testify of grace
And my heart will not forget your ways
If you said it it will surely rise
I will speak until I see it alive
Chorus (Repeat)
I open up my mouth and faith becomes a sound
What you started in me will not hit the ground
I call it forth, light in the morning
I call it forth, peace in my home
I call it forth, joy overflowing
Everything written for me
I call it forth
Bridge
Over my family, over my future
Over the places I thought I had lost
Over the waiting, over the breaking
Heaven is speaking and turning it all
No fear can hold me, no night can hide me
Grace will complete what mercy began
Bridge 2
I see the promise, I see the promises
Living here in my hands
Chorus (Repeat)
I call it forth, light in the morning
I call it forth, peace in my home
I call it forth, joy overflowing
Everything written for me
I call it forth

Meaning & Inspiration
“Call It Forth” by Deola Rae is a prayer song about speaking faith aloud over promises that seem delayed. The opening verses refuse the voice of fear: the singer will not bow to what darkness said, and a louder voice answers it. What was buried will begin to breathe, and what was delayed is finding the singer.
The chorus is built on spoken faith, “I open up my mouth and faith becomes a sound,” followed by a list of things called forth: light in the morning, peace in the home, joy overflowing. That recalls Romans 4:17, which speaks of God calling things that are not as though they were, and Isaiah 55:11, where His word accomplishes what He sends it to do.
The bridge extends the declaration over family, future, and lost places, ending with grace completing what mercy began. The song’s message is patient expectation: what God has said will rise, and the believer speaks until it is seen.
