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.
