FISHERS OF MEN

 

WITNESS

 

 

4-18-13

 

 

Fishers of Men

 

Come one

Come all

Come all you fishermen

Come one

Come all

I will make you

Fishers of men

 

Come Simon and Andrew

Come John and James too

Come all you others Apostles

And I will make you

Fishers of men

 

153 kinds of fish

In this world

One for every man

One for every woman

One for every race, religion

And nationality in this world

 

Come one

Come all

I no longer

Call you fishermen

I call you fishers of men

 

You in the 21st century

You devout men and women

Of this world

The work is not over yet

I call on you too

And I will make you

Fishers of men

 

Spread the Word of God

In this world

Spread God’s love

To every man, woman, and child

Spread your love all around

God’s work is not done yet

 

Come one/Come all

And I will make you

Fishers of men

 

In Jesus’ name—we pray

Ps       WITNESS       4-18-13 and 11-01-2021

 

“As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee-he saw Simon and his brother Andrew

Casting a net into the lake for they were fishermen

 

“Come follow me,” Jesus said, “And I will make you FISHERS OF MEN”

 

At once they left their nets and followed him”

Mark 1:16-18

 

 

“Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the net ashore

It was FULL of large fish-153-but even with so many the net was not torn

 

Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast”

 

None of the disciples dared ask him, “WHO ARE YOU?”

They knew it was the Lord”

John 21:11-12

 

 

 

Ps        Dear Lord, please help us to spread your love, your forgiveness, and your

            Kindness all over this world
