Light upon Galilee

Matthew · Chillsynth

[Intro - after the prison] When Jesus heard that John was cast in prison, He departed into Galilee. [Verse 1 - the borderlands] Leaving Nazareth, he dwelt in Capernaum, By the sea, in the coasts of Zabulon and Nephthalim. The people which sat in darkness saw great light; To them in the shadow of death, light arose. [Chorus] Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Leave the net, leave the boat, follow me. I will make you fishers of men; Light has risen upon Galilee. [Verse 2 - the call] Simon and Andrew cast a net into the sea, And straightway left their nets behind. James and John left the ship and their father, And followed when the Master called. [Bridge - through every town] He taught in their synagogues, Preached the gospel of the kingdom, Healed sickness and every disease; Great multitudes followed from every shore. [Outro] The people in darkness saw great light. Light has risen upon Galilee.
