Peter was a fisherman
Peter was a fisherman
And He made a little wish
To catch a lot of fish
But instead He ended up
With an empty dish
So Jesus said Peter
Try the other side
Jesus said Peter
Try the other side
So he threw his nets
Into the rolling sea
And he said look at all the fish
That came to me
Jesus said Peter
You come follow Me
Jesus said Peter
You come follow Me
And instead of catching fish
You’ll be catching men
And in My Father’s house
Your life will never end
Your life will never end
