Little Ones, Big Call

Lyrics

Title: Little Ones, Big Call
Style: Jazzy Afrobeat / Youth Choir

[Intro – Choir (soft, bouncy)]
Na-na-na, oh-oh-oh,
Children of the Kingdom, watch us grow.
Na-na-na, oh-oh-oh,
He callin’ on the young ones, let it show.

[Verse 1 – Solo (Samuel’s story)]
Late night, lamp light, temple so still,
Little boy Samuel layin’ in the will.
Heard a voice call his name in the dark,
Ran to Eli like, “Did you start?”
Three times, heart beat fast in his chest,
Didn’t know the Lord was givin’ him a test.
Then Eli said, “When you hear that sound,
Say, ‘Speak, Lord, Your servant’s down.’”

[Pre-Chorus – Choir]
I may be young but my spirit can hear,
Call of the Father ringin’ in my ear.
From 1 Samuel three, that story mine,
I’m a kid, but I’m called in His time.

[Chorus – Jazzy Afrobeat Groove]
Let the children come, don’t push us away,
Luke 18:16, hear what He say.
For of such is the Kingdom, we belong here too,
Little hands lifted, big faith, that’s true.
Don’t block my walk, don’t mute my praise,
I got a calling at this young age.
Jesus said “come,” so I step on through,
Jazzy Afrobeat, I’m dancin’ to You.

[Verse 2 – Solo + Choir Response]
Grown folks talkin’ like, “Kids don’t know,”
But we feel God’s pull in our soul for sure.
Bullies at school, TikTok noise,
He still whisper through the girls and boys.
When He say “Child,” I don’t hit ignore,
I’m like Samuel, “Speak, I’m yours.”
Might be small, but my yes is loud,
Little prophets risin’ out the crowd.

[Hook – Call & Response]
Leader: Who He callin’?
Choir: He callin’ the youth!
Leader: Who He usin’?
Choir: The babies in truth!
Leader: What we say when His voice come through?
Choir: “Speak, Lord, speak, Your child hears You!”

[Bridge – Jazzy Afrobeat Break]
(Choir chant over rhythm)
Hands up, feet move, swing left, swing right,
Children of the Kingdom in the Most High’s light.
Drums talk, horns sing, shaker in my hand,
Young and anointed in the Father’s plan.

[Vamp – Layered Vocals]
Leader: Suffer the children to come unto Me,
Choir: Don’t stop us, let us be free.
Leader: For of such is the Kingdom, that’s the word,
Choir: Luke 18:16, let the truth be heard.

Tag (unison)
From Samuel in the night to the kids right now,
He still call the young—so we answer, “Here am I.”
