They walked down to the shoreline like every other day

Put boats into the water, and quickly sailed away

Not much time to do their work, many mouths to feed

Filled their nets with fishes out on the Galilee

 

Chorus

They were fishermen, ordinary simple men

A lot like you, a lot like me

They were fishermen, Jesus chose to follow Him

Go cast your nets out on the sea (repeat)

 

Men of few possessions, not men of wealth or fame

Had no education, no titles by their name

Yet it was they who answered and left to go with Him

When Jesus said I call you to be fishers of men

 

Chorus

They were fishermen, ordinary simple men

A lot like you, a lot like me

They were fishermen, Jesus chose to follow Him

Go cast your nets out on the sea (repeat)
