He had fished all day
So many debts to repay
But the catch was lean
He had nets to clean
The Rabbi on the beach
Climbs aboard to teach
Then He tells Simon Peter
Time to go deeper
Let the nets down again
Simon answered him
We toiled all night
Not a fish in sight
But Simon took his word
Humbly submitting to the Lord
So many fish were caught
Another boat was sought
The bulging nets nearly broke
The catch filling both boats
Simon fell down at Jesus’ knees
O Lord, I am sinful, so unworthy
Amazed at what they had seen
So also the sons of Zebedee
Jesus said do not be afraid Simon
From now on you will be catching men!
“And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.”*
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.”
John 10:27-28 ESV
*Luke 5:11
