Fishers Of Men
Lyrics & Music by Sam Powell © 2000
You rise to the call of the seagull
A donut and a cup of tea
You climb aboard and set a course for the open sea
You look out beyond the horizon
The sky begins to change its hue
The gentle sea’s salty breeze takes a hold of you
And then you close your eyes and say a prayer
Where is the ocean life, Lord, lead me there
A gust of wind comes blowin’ in
A verse of scripture in the air
I’ll make you fishers of men
Drop your nets and follow me
I’ll make you fishers of men
Leave behind your selfish needs
See what I’ve called you to be...fishers of men
Breakin’ through the waves you found it
What you had been searchin’ for
You swing around and run aground
On a brand new shore
Faith is what had kept you sailing
After years of disappointing runs
But it was rare of you to share it with anyone
And now you see the pain, and hear the cries
And tell how Jesus heals and justifies
You’re in his will, your nets are filled
And for his words you’re thankful still
The minute you pull a fish out of the water
The life God breathes slowly leaves
But when you catch a man
By the lure of his holy plan
God breathes new life into him again
