Ebuka Songs - Calling My Name (I'm a Soldier) [Live] Lyrics

In Ebuka Songs’ “Calling My Name (I’m a Soldier),” the believer appears as a soldier already standing on the battlefield, not waiting for the fight but listening for directions. The lyrics center on attention: the Commander’s voice is the deciding signal, and the reply promised is absolute—“a billion times.” That repetition does not suggest exhaustion but complete surrender. The question, “Who is calling my name?” moves into the certainty that Jesus is the one speaking, which mirrors Scriptural moments where God calls individuals by name, like Samuel or Isaiah answering with readiness. The bridge then turns the declaration into a personal challenge, asking whether the response to God’s summons is truly available without limit. The song keeps the soldier metaphor unglamorous: service means obedience, and obedience means responding even before the full mission is known. It is a song about attentiveness to God’s voice, where worship is framed as a posture of listening and a commitment to answer whatever comes next, again and again.
