[Verse]
I was driving around down south Louisiana
Stopped in a town called Galliano
I saw a sign on a church that said, "Fish fry tonight"
[Pre-Chorus]
A little old Cajun preacher was preachin'
Reminded me of an old camp meeting
It brought Saint Matthew 4:19 to life
[Chorus 1:]
He said, "I catch 'em, God cleans 'em!
I bait the hook with the love of the Kingdom,
I've been called to be a fisher of men"
"I catch 'em, God cleans 'em!
Heaven knows He saves every soul that believes Him, I reel 'em in and He washes away their sin"
[Verse 2:]
Yeah, it didn't take long for Him to catch my attention
He was long on grace and short on religion
He said a prayer and that was all that she wrote
[BRIDGE:]
He said, "Amen!", and God as my witness
I fell in that big ole net of forgiveness
And before I knew it we were all in the same boat
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
I catch 'em, God cleans 'em
I bait the hook with the love of the Kingdom
I've been called to be a fisher of men
I catch 'em, God cleans 'em
Heaven knows He saves every soul that believes Him
I reel 'em in and He washes away their sin
Yeah, I reel 'em in and He washes away their sin
Oh yes, He does
I reel 'em in and He washes away their sin
