Come And Follow

Me and Andrew, we'd been fishin'

The best part of last night

We'd caught nothin' for all our tryin'

Come the mornin', and the light--

Then I saw Him, out a little ways from the land

He started teachin' all the people

And they listened there in silence on the sand.

Come and follow, come and follow,

Come and follow, come and follow Me.

When He'd ended all His teaching

He turned around and spoke again to me

He said, "Simon, row out father--

Drop your nets once again into the sea

I said, "Master, we've been workin'

Since the sundown yesterday

But one more time, I'll throw them over

Just because it's You who say.

Come and follow, come and follow,

Come and follow, come and follow Me.

Now James and John, they're both my witnesses

To the truth in what I've told

How our nets were filled to bursting

More than both our boats could ever hold

And I fell down there before Him

Cring, "Leave me, Lord -- I'm full of sin!"

He said, "Simon, don't be frightened,

Follow Me and you will learn to fish for men."

Come and follow, come and follow,

Come and follow, come and follow Me.
