For The Sake Of The Call |
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 water’s edge |
Told a story that few could believe and none could explain |
How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus led |
With no thought for what they would gain |
For Jesus had called them by name and they answered |
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 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 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
