The Chosen Fisherman

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
