The Fisherman.    The Fisherman.doc

1. Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee,
Saw two brothers fishing,
Called out, “Come, follow Me.”
They put down their nets.
They left it all because He said:
“Come, fishers of men you will be.” 

Simon followed Jesus,
He answered that call,
He saw Him doing things no man could do.
When Jesus called Simon,
He knew he’d give his all,
And He knew that he would deny Him, too. 

CHORUS:             
“Simon, Son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?”
“Yes Lord, You know I love You.”
“Feed My lambs, Feed My lambs.”

“Simon, Son of Jonah, do you love me?”
“Yes Lord, You know I love You.”
“Tend My sheep, Tend My sheep.”

“Simon, Son of Jonah, do you love me?”
“Yes Lord, You know all things, You know I do!”
“Feed My sheep, Feed My sheep.” 

2. Jesus asked His disciples,
“Who do men say I am?”
Simon said: “You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
Jesus said: “You’re Peter,
And on this rock I’ll build My church.
The gates of hell against it shall not prevail. “

Jesus told Peter: “You’ll deny Me tonight.”
“No Lord, never!
For You, I’d give my life.”
But when the moment came,
Peter turned and ran away.
He swore: “I never knew that man.”
As the cock crowed,
Jesus turned and looked at him,
Peter went out and wept so bitterly. 

When Jesus rose again,
He appeared to His men,
Cooked a meal for them, 
and then He said,

Chorus

 

3. You see, Jesus knew His man,
And He saw the greater plan.
Cause when the Spirit fell on Peter,
He turned the world upside down. 

Chorus
