listen.obey.act.

Nobody stood and applauded them
So they knew from the start
This road would not lead to fame
All they really knew for sure was Jesus had called to them
He said, Come, follow me
And they came
With reckless abandon they came

Empty nets lying there at the water's edge
Told a story that few could believe and none could explain
How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus led
With no thought for what they would gain
For Jesus had called them by name and they answered

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die
For the sake of the call

Drawn like rivers are drawn to the sea
No turning back for the water cannot help but flow
Once we hear the Savior's call we'll follow wherever He leads
Because of the love He has shown
Because He has called us to go we will answer

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die

Not for the sake of a creed or a cause
Not for a dream or a promise
Simply because it is Jesus who calls
And if we believe we'll obey

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die
For the sake of the call



as i listened to this song,it just touched my heart about how the fishermen could put down everything and just followed Jesus when He called them.to fully trust Him even when nobody agreed with their decision to follow.to follow not because of earthly gains but because they caught the heartbeat of Jesus,they understood the words of Jesus,and they followed the call.we often think twice before we decide whether we should follow Jesus in certain situations,whether to do the right things when it did not seem logical to do so.whether to trust God when nothing seems to be working for you.the fishermen then did not bother about their earthly rewards when they heard Jesus and decided to follow Him.their attitude was what caused them to drop everything they had and to simply obey the call.Sometimes all we have to do is to simply listen and obey,not for earthly gains but for what is in store for us in heaven.


I have decided
To follow Jesus
I have decided
To follow Jesus

No turning back
