Lyrics
Walkin’ down the beach at the sea of Galilee, a teacher comes up to me and says hey come follow me I’ll make you a fisher, but we’re fishin for men, I took his advice and I followed him. Uncertainty what would happen to me, no home, food or insurance, and this man worked all day with a love inspired endurance, Early morning late nights, workers rights only of a servant, is it worth it, all I gave do I deserve it, the stuff I go through, but I know too that this mans message is true, this man who can heal, this man who can save, this man reveals about heaven’s gates, and as of late I’m getting really weary, when we talked bout who is the greatest did the teacher overhear me, I’m worried things aren’t as I thought they would be, and according to the teacher their not gonna be, cause he’s talking bout losin his life and he’s talking bout me losing mine, what is that right? Now I know Jesus that heaven’s got treasures and the next life’s gonna be much better but is it clever for me to follow you, if that following mean’s I die too, you said pick up my cross, now I feel lost, a death sentence just to preach repentance and forgiveness for the boss, can I live this life of a disciple of Christ not without his help that’s right, but its his wealth in eternity that keeps me following and if I stop than he’ll keep on callin me, Lord I have nowhere to go, you are my hope keep me a float help me to cope and with your grace help me today to give my life for your’s names sake.
Hey, one day, were walkin with Jesus, all of a sudden Jesus he freezes because he sees this man that says he can follow him, those chances are slim, but Jesus makes it clear that foxes have holes but the Son of man has no home, and no where to go to rest, the man never thought of this, he wasn’t cut out I guess, but get this, Jesus asks another one, the man says he’s his father’s son and as soon as his father’s done livin the son will be given his life to following Christ, yeah right, Jesus says let the dead bury the dead but proclaim God’s kingdom instead, still another brother is asked to do the same as the first two see he says that’s cool after I say bye to family, but Jesus says you can’t follow me if your not fit, you can’t look back from the plow and still be of service in the kingdom of God all three experiences odd, what is Jesus problem, well its like this, he wants the whole heart and not just our mouth, us to be a part of him and live our faith loud, so I started to doubt, but remember being perfect is not what Christianity is about, but when we stumble Jesus helps us out,
Speakin of stumblin’ man it was troublin when chief priests arrested him, all of sudden, I was runnnin’, footsteps thuddin, down the path, I deserted him at last, Jesus I’m not going out like that, hey don’t accuse me, the Jews they’d abuse me if I didn’t do what I did G, I guess I’m not cut out to be a disciple at all, and man did I bawl to think that the Lord of all, was being beaten in the Roman hall, but you wouldn’t find me at the cross I was scared, this came so fast I wasn’t prepared, but I was there when Jesus appeared three days in the room where we locked ourselves in fear, and all of a sudden he was here, he wasn’t angry, and thankfully, he gave us another try, Lord, right now I give you my life and I live for your commission to ride.
