Lyrics
By the shores of Galilee, under the morning light,
John cast his nets into the sea, another ordinary night.
The waters calm, the world at peace,
In the quiet dawn, his soul sought release.
A figure walked along the sand, with eyes that seemed to see,
A deeper truth, a brighter path, a calling to be free.
"Come follow me," the stranger spoke, his voice both kind and strong,
"I'll show you how to fish for souls, where you truly belong."
**Refrain:**
Jesus called to John, with love in his gaze,
A promise of hope, a new life's embrace.
Leave your nets behind, come walk by my side,
In the light of the Lord, let your faith be your guide.
John felt a stirring in his heart, a warmth he couldn't deny,
He left his nets, his boat, his life, for something greater in the sky.
He followed Jesus, step by step, to places far and wide,
Learning love, and grace, and truth, with the Savior by his side.
Through stormy seas and trials, through miracles and grace,
John saw the power of the Lord, in every loving face.
He witnessed healings, heard the word, a faith that never died,
In Jesus’ arms, he found his place, forever to abide.
**Refrain:**
Jesus called to John, with love in his gaze,
A promise of hope, a new life's embrace.
Leave your nets behind, come walk by my side,
In the light of the Lord, let your faith be your guide.
**Bridge:**
In the garden, on the hill, through the darkest night,
John stood by his Savior’s side, till the morning light.
Witness to the risen Lord, the triumph of the grave,
In Jesus' love and sacrifice, his soul was truly saved.
**Refrain:**
Jesus called to John, with love in his gaze,
A promise of hope, a new life's embrace.
Leave your nets behind, come walk by my side,
In the light of the Lord, let your faith be your guide.
