I’VE BEEN WASHING MY NETS for too long
On the shores of unbelief.
Listening through hours of meetings,
Now it’s time to do what I see.
To put out into deeper water,
Sail away on the winds of faith.
I see there’s a massive harvest,
The nets will almost break…
BREAKOUT! This is the time to –
BREAKOUT! This is the call to –
BREAKOUT! This is the year of the breakout!
Keep pressing in and forget the old thing,
See the new thing springing up.
New wine for a brand new wine skin,
Fresh oil with an ancient touch.
Make room for the great awakening,
It’s here and it’s on it’s way.
We’ll see God’s kingdom break out
To the right and the left today…
It’s time to call to the shore,
We’ll need some partners.
It’s time to ask the Lord
To send more labourers…
