For the sake of the call
But the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to
live and to die
Nobody stood and
applauded them
So they knew from the start
this road would not lead to faith
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 water's 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
Then they answer
For the sake of the call
But the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to
live and to die
For the sake of the call
The sake of the call
Drawn like the rivers
are drawn to the sea
There's no turning back
for the water cannot help
but flow
Once we hear the Savior's call
We'll follow wherever He leads
Because of the love
He has shown
Because He has called us to go
We will answer
For the sake of the call
But the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to
live and to die
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
Abandon it all
For the sake of the call
No other reason at all
That's all
We will
We will abandon it all
For the sake of the call
No other
No other reason at all
But the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to
live and to die
For the sake of the call
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
For the sake of the call
No other reason
No other reason
Will it
Live and to die
For the sake of the call
