Matthew
[Verse 1] Andrew heard the Baptist witness, Found his brother, brought him near. Philip called Nathanael, Though Nazareth drew a sneer. At the lake, the crowds pressed closely; Simon lent his boat for speech. When the teaching ended, nets Went down into the deep. [Chorus] Leave the nets upon the shoreline. Leave the boats and follow Him. A greater catch than silver fish Awaits beyond the rim. Leave the nets upon the shoreline; The ordinary day is done. Those who hauled the lake at morning Will gather souls beneath the Son. [Verse 2] All night labor yielded nothing, Yet at His word they tried again. Fish filled both the boats to sinking; Simon fell before Him then. Fear not, fisherman of Galilee; A different work would rise. James and John left Zebedee Beneath the open skies. [Bridge] One heard, one brought another. One doubted, then believed. The call moved person into person; A band of witnesses was formed. [Final Chorus] Leave the nets upon the shoreline, Not because the sea was small, But because the One who filled it Had spoken through a greater call.
