Luke
5:1-11
FORSAKING
ALL
Two teams of men had been fishing all night,
Nets were empty, nary a bite.
As they cleaned their nets beside the lake,
Jesus walked up and implored them to take
Him out just a bit to teach from the boat.
Unusual preacher, His platform afloat.
After the crowd had left the shore,
He told Peter they needed to fish some more.
Although he thought it futile, Peter agreed.
Little did he know that he would soon need
His partners, James, John, and Zebedee
To help haul in the catch before they broke free.
The fish were so many the boats nearly sank.
They knew that for this they had Jesus to thank.
Peter fell on his knees, convicted of sin.
“Fear not,” Jesus said, “you will soon catch men.”
Fishermen Peter, Andrew, James and John
Left their ships and nets they depended upon
And immediately answered the Master’s call
To follow Him, forsaking all.
