Fishers Of Men

Jesus chose twelve men to teach His message

They would take up His cross, to be His bridge

To give the good news of salvation to all

That each of us are His disciples, it is our call

Do you remember the names of each of these men

Handpicked by Jesus, to be His fishers of Men

There were brothers John and James, brothers Peter and Andrew

Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew

Thaddaeus, whose name was also Judas or Lebbaeus

Simon the Zealot and James, the son of Alphaeus

And finally the betrayer, Judas Iscariot

Each one helped pave the way for the Holy Spirit

These men were blessed to know Jesus first-hand

They followed Him and fulfilled His every command

Including Judas, who had the difficult task

Could any of you have done it, if Jesus were to ask

Without the betrayal, there would be no sacrifice

Then Jesus could not have paid in full, the ultimate price

These men shared with the world, the hope of tomorrow

How a greater good could come, from a moment of sorrow

For Jesus resurrection, was witnessed by them all

Except for Judas, for his crime, he took the fall

They shared their experiences, so that we would know

How much God loves us, and just how far He would go

These men saw what they did to Jesus, yet they still spoke out

That they would put their life on the line, leaves little if no doubt

These men were chosen, as each of us are, by Jesus as well

As a fisher of Men, what witness will you reveal or tell.
