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 waters edge
|
Told a story that few could believe and none could explain
|
How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus lead
|
With no thought for what they would gain
|
For Jesus had called them by name and they answered
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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 the 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
|
And 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
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
