From a boat Jesus taught
Simon Peter with James and John did see
Thy fished all day and not one was caught
Jesus said "try one more time please"

Behold fish upon fish in the net
"Come with me," said He
the fishermen dropped everything and left
to fish in other seas

From that point on other fish they caught
Fish with legs and billions of sins
To whom Jeusu taught
Lay down your nets fishermen

Simon Peter might be a little man
With friends from Zebedee
but it was His plan
From now on they fish men from sinful seas

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater." -SN
