Fishermen Lyrics

By the shores of Gennesaret

A crowd gathered close to hear

Jesus stood where the waters met

His words rang strong and clear

Two boats rested by the tide

Fishermen with nets undone

He stepped in Simon's boat and cried

Push out, my work's begun

Cast your nets into the deep

Though the night gave none to keep

Trust my word, let faith arise

I'll fill your nets, open your eyes

Simon said, We fished all night

No fish, no catch to show

But if you say so

I'll make it right

Into the deep we'll go

The nets grew heavy tearing wide

The boats began to sink

A miracle before their eyes

More than they could think

Cast your nets into the deep

Though the night gave none to keep

Trust my word, let faith arise

I'll fill your nets, open your eyes

Simon fell before His knees

Lord, I'm unworthy, sinful indeed

But Jesus said, Don't be afraid

Your life is changing, a call obeyed

No longer will you catch the sea

But bring the lost to follow me

Cast your nets into the deep

Though the night gave none to keep

Trust my word, let faith arise

I'll fill your nets, open your eyes

They left their boats, their nets too

A new path called

A love so true

Simon, James, and John believed

By the shore, their lives redeemed
