For The Sake Of The Call Lyrics

Nobody stood and applauded them

So they knew from the start

This road would not lead to fame

All they really knew for sure was Jesus had called to them

He said "Come follow me" and they came

With reckless abandon they came



Empty nets lying there at the waters edge

Told a story that few could believe

And none could explain

How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus led

With no thought for what they would gain

For Jesus had called them by name and they answered



CHORUS :

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

No other reason at all but the sake of the call

Wholly devoted to live and to die...



BRIDGE :



Not for the sake of a creed or a cause

Not for a dream or a promise

Simply because it is Jesus who calls

And if we believe we'll obey

And we'll answer....



CHORUS :

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

No other reason at all but the sake of the call

Wholly devoted to live and to die

For the sake of the call....
