By the sea of Galilee, a fisherman unknown
Casting nets with calloused hands, dreaming close to home
A voice said, “Follow me, I’ll make you fish for men”
And Simon left the shoreline, never the same again
Oh Peter, walking on the water, eyes upon the King
Faith and fear colliding in the waves of everything
From the nets to the nations, through the fire and the storm
Your heart was changed forever, when His love was born
He saw the blind receive their sight, the broken made to stand
He swore he’d never turn away, yet stumbled in the sand
Three times the rooster crowed, the dark before the dawn
Grace restored the fallen one, his courage turned back on
Oh Peter, walking on the water, eyes upon the King
Faith and fear colliding in the waves of everything
From the nets to the nations, through the fire and the storm
Your heart was changed forever, when His love was born
Keys of heaven in your hands, preaching to the world
From Pentecost to martyrdom, your net was fully hurled
Though stones and chains could break your frame, they could not break your song
For every word you spoke of Him still echoes strong
Oh Peter, walking on the water, eyes upon the King
Faith and fear colliding in the waves of everything
From the nets to the nations, to the glory of His throne
Your life became the gospel, and you were never alone
