[This song is based around a passage from the Course where Jesus re-envisions a Gospel verse, in this case Matthew 22:14. The point being that the verse in the Gospels makes it sound a bit elitist, that somehow you must be a “chosen one” to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Of course, this was not the intention, but it still could be misinterpreted (and it has), so Jesus in the Course corrects the language to say that in fact we all are chosen, but not everyone chooses to return home right away, and that’s okay because they will eventually choose that, and time is an illusion anyway. Yet it is also true that only “few” will make it their calling in any given lifetime/generation to hear God’s voice, and this is not a judgment, just an observation!
On another note, I want to add that I had been playing with the “listen-silent-enlist” wordplay for years and it finally found its way into this song. Love it when that happens. : )]
lyrics
“I cannot choose for you,
but I can help you make your own right choice.
"Many are called but few are chosen" should be,
"All are called but few choose to listen."
Therefore, they do not choose right.
The "chosen ones" are merely those who choose right sooner. Right minds can do this now,
and they will find rest unto their souls.
God knows you only in peace,
and this is your reality.”
I enlist you/
To be silent/
& listen
to your heart
I enlist you/
To be silent/
& listen/
to the calling of your heart
To Be/
To Be in Love/
To Be/
To Be in Love/
To Be… (2x)
All are called and few choose to listen
All are called and few choose to listen
All are called, all are called
All are called and few choose to listen
All are called and few choose to listen
All are called, just listen
& Be/
Be In Love/
& Be
Just Be In Love (2x)
I enlist you/
To be silent/
& listen/
to your heart (2x)
All are called and few choose to listen
All are called and few choose to listen
All are called, all are called
All are called and few choose to listen
All are called and few choose to listen
All are called, please listen
And Yet Everyone will come Home
Yet Everyone will come Home
Everyone will Listen
(Yes)
And Yes, Everyone will be Free
Yes, Everyone will be Free
Everyone will Be…
Be, Be in Love
Be, Just Be in Love
Be (2x)
I Love You
I Love You
I Love You
