Sailing whole night in the sea, no fish yet to see
Tired, dejected, as gloomy as they could be
Washed their nets away at the shores of Galilee
They had no hope, nothing on their side
Just some water around and watery eyes to hide
How could no one hear their hearts, which cried
Lonely they sat, when they heard some footsteps
Climbing on their boats was a man, no one knew perhaps
A platform he made out of the boats for others to be helped
Amazed were they, who knew not what was going
He finished his speech and turned at them smiling
A trust he was looking for, a trust in their eyes he was
seeking
He commanded them to throw their nets to get ready for the
trap
Impossible it was to them, impossible to them it seemed
They trusted and made their nets flow, unwrapped
Completely they surrendered themselves to the trust
Fishes the nets brought, fishes hard to find a place to be
kept
Abundant grace flowed, all impossibilities swept
Seeing this, Repentance was the word that followed
They realized the worth of the trust and how, to sin, until
then, they were sold
‘Depart from us, for we are sinful’, to him they told
He had come to heal the sick, not the fit
His love could not leave them in the pit
He said, ‘Don’t fear, not even a bit’
Contracted them without even signing with a pen
To be called His children and let others too can
What a blessing He gave them to be, ‘Fishers of men’!!
