Hive Open Mic Week 297, for this week I'll sing Calling My Name by Ebuka Songs
How close we can be to God and how much things change when we really meet Him. It's not just about hearing God's voice,it’s more about that personal feeling inside that makes you want to give yourself to God, listen to Him, and get even closer. Ebuka Songs is known for his sincere worship music, and this song really shows how it feels to be known and chosen by God.
The main idea of Calling My Name is that God knows each of us personally and calls us by our names. It comes from verses in the Bible, like Isaiah 43:1, where God says, I have called you by your name; you are Mine. The song is saying that God calls us on purpose. It’s not a coincidence. When God calls you by name, it means He knows who you are, you belong to Him, and He has something for you to do. Ebuka Songs puts it in a way that makes you feel like God’s call is something special and life-changing.
The words of the song make you feel humble and amazed. You're just in awe that God would even notice you. This feeling makes you want to give everything to Him. In Calling My Name, answering God’s call isn’t something you have to do, but something you want to do because you love Him. The song encourages you to put aside anything that distracts you, any pride, or anything you want for yourself, so you can give yourself completely to God.
Another important thing about the song is that it talks about obedience. When you hear God calling you, you have to answer. Just like Samuel, Abraham, and Moses did in the Bible, the song reminds us that God wants us to be available when He calls. The song keeps repeating that God is calling your name, which shows that He doesn't give up on those He chooses. This can be really comforting if you feel like you're not good enough or far away from God. The song reminds you that God is still calling, still wants you, and still wants a relationship with you.
The music itself is slow and respectful, which really fits the message of the song. It makes you want to think, pray, and listen to the Holy Spirit. It's the kind of song that pulls you into a moment with God, rather than just being a performance. When people sing Calling My Name together, it often turns into a prayer, with everyone personalizing the words and answering God’s call in their own way.
Basically, Calling My Name by Ebuka Songs is a powerful worship song about how close God is to us, who we are to Him, and how we respond to Him. It reminds us that God knows us personally, calls us with love, and wants us to give ourselves to Him completely. The song challenges us to not only hear God’s call but to answer it with obedience and love.
