Story behind the song
It's a song about persevering, learning to obey and to endure that uses Peter's fishing frustrations and Christ's abundant provision as a point of illustration.
Lyrics
When you've fished all night,
And you've come to first light,
And your boat is still empty.
And you gave it your best,
And you've got nothing left,
And your heart is just empty.
Over there on the shore,
Someone calling my name,
Asking, How are you faring?
Well, I fished all night,
Didn't catch a thing,
But, thanks for caring!
Let your net down again,
On the far side, man,
And you'll see what will happen.
I was already wet,
So I let down my net,
Now my net's nearly snappin'!
It's an uphill climb!
Learning how to obey.
But you know that I'm trying!
It's a learning curve,
And I'm not lying!
When you've prayed all night,
And you've come to first light,
And your voice has gone quiet.
And you gave it your best,
And you've got nothing left,
But you just had to try it.
And a quiet falls,
Like the snow on the ground,
In the midst of December.
And you start to smile,
'Cause you can't forget
What you always remember.
Pray and don't lose heart,
Count your troubles joy,
For the Lord is your refuge.
Take again the cross,
Cast the world aside,
For all other is refuse.
It's an uphill climb!
Learning how to endure.
But you know that I'm trying!
It's a learning curve,
And I'm not lying!
