Travis Greene - Respond - When You Call Me Lyrics

Lyrics

You see all
Still You’re searching
For someone who will respond
I’m right here
You sit high
Still You’re looking
For a place You can abide
I’m right here
I’m the One
You don’t have to search no more
I’m the one you’re looking for

When you call me
I will respond
When you call me
I will respond
When you pull me
I will come running to your arms
I will respond to You

Meaning & Inspiration

Travis Greene's "Respond," released on October 18, 2019, is a powerful declaration of divine availability and unwavering commitment. This song isn't just a melody; it's a profound theological statement, echoing the very heart of God’s relational nature with humanity. The core message revolves around God's persistent search for connection and His immediate, eager response to His creation. The lyrics paint a picture of a searching soul, seeking solace and a place to rest, and then unveil the comforting truth that God is actively looking, not just waiting, but actively seeking someone to respond to. This resonates deeply with the biblical narrative of God’s pursuit of mankind, as seen in passages like Hosea 11:3-4, where God Himself describes teaching Ephraim to walk, carrying them in His arms, and drawing them with cords of kindness. The song's promise, "When you call me, I will respond," is a direct affirmation of God's promise of access, underscoring the accessibility He offers through prayer and faith. It’s a call to recognize that the search is over; God is not a distant entity, but one who is present and actively engaged, confirming the truth found in Jeremiah 29:12: "Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." The refrain, "When you pull me, I will come running to Your arms," beautifully captures the intimacy and eagerness of God's embrace, mirroring the father’s joyful reception of the prodigal son in Luke 15:20. This isn't a passive God, but one who actively moves towards us, desiring relationship above all else. The song’s strength lies in its directness and its unwavering focus on God’s responsiveness, providing an inspiring reminder for believers to continually turn to Him, assured of His immediate and loving attention. It’s a musical testament to the unfailing covenant God maintains with His people, a covenant characterized by His readiness to hear and to answer.
