D - G - D
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; for Jesus had
Called them by name, and they answered,
We will a----bandon it all, for the sake of the call; No ot--her reason at all, but the sake
Of the call; Holy, devoted, to live and to die, for the sake of the call.
VII:
Drawn like the rivers are drawn to the sea; there’s no turnin’ 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; and 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; Holy, 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 called, 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; Holy, devoted, to live and to die, for the sake of the call.
