FISH WITH ME
by Jessie Manibusan

And Jesus says :

​Oh, Come and follow me
And Jesus says :

Oh, leave behind your nets I call you!
Oh, come and fish with me
And your life will never be the same again

Jesus saw them fishing by the shore of Galilee
Casting out their nets into the sea.
Simon Peter, Andrew, and the sons of Zebedee,
Waiting in their boats so patiently.

And Jesus says
Oh, Come and follow me

And Jesus says
Oh, leave behind your nets I call you!
Oh, come and fish with me
And your life will never be the same again

A rich young person came to Jesus looking for advice,
“How can I obtain eternal life?”
Jesus told him, “Honor the commandments of the Lord.
Then sell off all your riches for the poor”

And Jesus says
Oh, Come and follow me
And Jesus says
Oh, leave behind your nets I call you!
Oh, come and fish with me
And your life will never be the same again

Those who save their lives will lose it

Those who lose their lives will save it

For what profit does it show

If you gain the world

But lose your soul? Lose your soul?

And Jesus says
Oh, Come and follow me
And Jesus says
Oh, leave behind your nets I call you!
Oh, come and fish with me
And your life will never be the same again

If you want to follow me, deny your very self.
Take up your cross and walk the walk withme.
This might seem a hardship, and impossibility,
but nothing is impossible with God​

And Jesus says
Oh, Come and follow me
And Jesus says
Oh, leave behind your nets I call you!
Oh, come and fish with me
And your life will never be the same again x 2
