The Young Man by the Sea

A young man one day was walking by the sea,
To those around Him, He said,
Become fishers of men and follow me.

Many miracles did this young man in the towns by the sea,
To those who saw these miracles, He said,
Become fishers of men and follow me.

Standing in a boat, docked by the rolling sea,
Love God with all your heart, He said,
Become fishers of men and follow me.

With children in his lap, sitting on a log floating in the sea,
Love your neighbor as yourself, He said
Become fishers of men, my little children, and follow me.

While a storm was raging, He slept in a boat sailing on the sea,
Have faith in my Father and your God, He said,
Become fishers of men and follow me.

In a glorified body, this young man stood on the shore of the sea,
Come, have breakfast with me, He said,
Become fishers of men and follow me.

By now you know, the young man by the sea,
Was Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God.
Follow in His footsteps,
And you will have life and have it more abundantly,
As your life, the young man by the sea, faithfully leads.
