Fishers of Men

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They cast their nets in the dawn light

Until He called to them,

And then they cast their nets aside,

Rose up and followed Him.

 

They left behind all that they had

To walk the narrow way.

Never knowing what they would face,

With every passing day.

 

They came to understand, at last,

The task they had begun.

They understood the price they’d pay,

Doing what must be done.

 

They also recognized in Him

The hope for which they’d prayed,

And once they set out on that path

They never again strayed.

 

They dropped their nets to follow Him

And left them on the shore,

For He had called them to His side

To fish for something more.

 

Matthew 4:19-20

And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him.
