The Day it Happened

A new day with many tasks ahead
  Came a harsh yawn with outstretched hands
With a kiss on the cheek and a promise to return
I head off to work in this crazy sin filled world
I catch up with my brother along the dirt path 
We talk of better days and hope the storms have passed
Yesterday was rough, the waves crashed all around
We wished for full nets as our feet met the ground

Put my feet in the water, I felt a chill up my spine
The tide was in our favor, we hoped the waters would be kind
With a shove off and vulgar cry we watched the seagulls as they fly
We threw the nets out and we drifted off ,I guess it wasn’t time
For hours on end not a fish was caught on site
We dropped our heads and we saddled up and lead the boats to the dry
Tempers flared, words were said, cutting like knives
A fight broke out with some other guys the sun was in its dive

Boats were docked and the nets were laid out
A crowd was forming so we went to check it out
We saw a faceless man walking toward our boat
So we stepped back and lisened to every note
He jumped in our boat and pushed out to sea
The crowd was moving close to shore, who could this man be
Our eyes met and he spoke to me softly
"Put out into deep water" and you'll catch fish surely

With a sigh of frustration, a breathe of defeat
If you command it, master, I will listen complete
We headed out to sea with a chance for redemption
Never knowing this was the ultimate lesson
Our nets touched the water and too our surprise
The boat almost sank, we heard an uproar and cries
A signal for help and a rush to assist
And that's when it hit me, the Messiah exists!

And then Jesus said to Simon,"Don't be afraid; from now on you will fish for people" Luke 5:10
