about

Peter's Song - on how he decided to leave his nets and boats on the shore of Lake Galilee and cast his lot in with Jesus.

lyrics

Sunshine on the water in the morning
The breeze upon my face on Galilee
I never thought I'd come to leave the things I've called my own
Leave my boats and nets beside the sea

Galilee, oh Galilee
Galilee, oh Galilee

Empty nets, we turned our boats to land
Just as the sun rose on the shore ahead
And then he came awalking on the beach, upon the sand
Come and cast your nest with me, he said.

Galilee, oh Galilee
Galilee, oh Galilee

So we set the sails for sea once more
Although we'd fished all night with nought to show
And Jesus came and climbed into the boat as we left shore
Sat and watched the water dance and glow

Then, in a voice so still, he said,
“Cast your nets right here”
And we did, and the nets were filled
With the biggest catch of year

And so I left my nets beside the sea
And Galilee will have to do without me.

So my boat lies buried in the sand
The tide came in and swept the nets away
The life I have is not at all the life I always planned
On a boat out fishing in the bay

Galilee, oh Galilee
Galilee, oh Galilee

Were my life a boat upon the water
Then sure the swell has carried me away
And all the things I called my own they beckon from the shore
But when Jesus calls, you cannot stay.

So when He came and said, “Peter won't you join my crew?
Won't you come fish for men instead”, I knew my sailing days were through

And so I left my nets beside the sea
And Galilee will have to do without me.

And so I left my nets beside the sea
And Galilee will have to do without me.
