    ​2 Chronicles 7:14

                                                                               If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

    The Fisherman's Call

    I heard a call one day

    As I labored on the bay

    The voice of God was calling

    And These words I heard Him say

     

    Fisherman, follow me

    Come near and learn my way

    No longer need you labor here

    Toiling for fish day after day

     

    I'll teach you how to fish for men

    Though the work's still hard and long

    The results are longer-lasting

    and they yield a sweeter song

     

    You needn't fear for want

    I'll give you all you need

    I'll clothe you and I'll feed you

    and I'll bless you in your deed

     

    In case of persecutions

    I've not forgotten your reward

    it may be postponed a day or two

    but don't jump overboard

     

    I'll pay your due when life is o'er

    and it's time to settle up

    You'll not regret the choice you made

    As at my side you sup.

     

    The rewards of Heaven far outlast

    and outshine earth's finest gold

    and the everlasting souls you save

    you'll not regret you told

     

    You'll shine as the stars forever more

    in glory you'll be arrayed

    and you'll look back at life's short day

    and smile at the price you paid.

    -

    I left my nets and followed Him

    that day not long ago

    one day I'll stand before His throne

    to reap what I did sow

     

    I know my works, that they'll be tried,

    whether stubble or precious stone,

    So I thank Him for the call that day

    and that He left me not alone.

     

    God is still calling fishermen
